We do mainly industrial and commercial work with a small bit of (landlord) residential.
After some recent negative comments from potential customers regarding NICEIC electricians I was thinking of jumping ship to ECA or Napit.
OK I know ECA are now the same as NIC but there name doesn't seem...
As part of a renovation to my home I'm having some electrical work done. It's been organised through the builder so he contracts with the sparkie and I contract with the builder. The sparkie is NICEIC registered and has just done the testing prior to issuing the certificate. He's made the...
I am having a weird problem with the NICEIC website, Am just finishing a EIC on the website, but for some reason it wont let me sign the QS bit digitally, I can create certificates but can not finalise them ready for printing or emailing to hand to customer, it was working fine yesterday.
It...
I have seen on the NICEIC website that if you are signed up on either the DI or AC schemes then you can get a tradepoint card for discount from B&Q. Admittedly some of the stuff is a bit shoddy. Some of the other stuff less so.
My question though is does anybody have the trade point card via...
Just been in Homebase to choose a light fitting with a customer and i see this shining example of electrical work.
Looking at the cable run they have tapped into a swa from the old car park lights and then run it up a pole to service the car park enforcement cameras to clock entry and exit...
Am I the only one or are others fed up with getting 3 - 4 spam emails a day because the NICEIC have posted your email online, using mailto so making it real easy for spammers?
I did approach the NICEIC scam who said it was simply a coincidence, I then got them to change the address listed to...
Is anyone else getting annoyed with NICEIC Online?
I've told myself I'm going to make a conscious effort to start using it in an attempt to phase out day to day use of my computer based software Amtech Fasttest. (Which I find clunky and glitchy).
I've just tried to do an EICR and come up against...
Info for anyone currently looking to join,
Whilst I was very nervous the night before, there is no need to be, as long as you know how to test and your upto date with the regs, then this is a breeze,
Inspector arrived 9am,
Quick meeting explaining about the scheme.
Went through the office...
Hi all, NICEIC are coming back a.m. to see me for AC upgrade but I have a small problem, as they saw two big jobs last time 3wks ago or less, I can use my place CU upgrade & move for the job this time, problem being I've got EIC for the works I've done and all on RCBO's now but on iCertifi I...
Anyone with them who can help with what is easiest way to use the online certs / notification system ! I'm used to iCertifi and it seems a mile easier and better ! ?
Thanks in advance.
A little back story. . .
I've been a self employed sub contractor for 6 years now.
Mainly working on new build flats and houses with the odd bit of commercial thrown in for good measure.
I'm finally taking the plunge to start my own fully fledged company.
At the moment I'm still doing site...
So I had my very first office and site assessment today which I'm pleased to say I've passed and the assessor said he will put in the report as a pass. Which is good, but....
He says that his report goes into the NICEIC and from there they will look at it and be in touch when it is internally...
Hi there, I would be very grateful for any advice. I am getting a new consumer unit fitted in my house and replacement lighting in my kitchen.
The contractor that will be doing the work for me is registered as a NICEIC Approved Contractor. It doesn't mention "Domestic Installer" against his...
just a quick question
quite possibly a question for the NIC however i have been wondering what would stop someone simply copping my certificates and putting different client details on? i have managed to edit PDFs in the past so that wont stop anyone.
essentially what would prevent someone...
whats everyone's view on the QS system used?
How much responsibility should a QS have, should they inspect all installation and testing going on within the company they work for and are they the fall guy if something goes wrong.
Would be interested from all the QS guys on here and the non QS as...
Hey all, prob been asked lots before but is anyone NICEIC registered and can make head or tail of half the documents they require ?
Seems pretty extensive and even saw that they may need a letterhead with company name on or similar too ?
I don't have anything like that as I compile estimates...
Hi. I'm newly qualified as a domestic installer so well aware I've got a lot to learn about the real world but...
I looked over a friends consumer unit today. It was recently installed by a NICEIC approved spark. I noticed lots that didn't seem right to me, and I'd appreciate some feedback on...
