I'm a previous C&G 2/3 qualified electrician who used to work under an NICEIC domestic contractor for many years but I recently decided to not become registered due to the change in criteria and losing my passion for electrical so I recently moved onto new lines of work...
Today I was doing...
All the specific guidance I can find stating that underfloor heating is notifiable seems to refer to an outdated version of Part P, and I’m trying to understand why generally everywhere still treats it as notifiable.
If a dedicated cable already exists from the consumer unit (so no new circuits...
Hi. A few years ago we had a full house rewiring done by an electrician who issued a certificate for the work. He also left in the consumer unit an MCB to be used in the futue for an immersion heater and a cable in the wall, unconnected to the MCB, which should be used by the immersion heater...
looking for clarification on the status (notifiable/ not notifiable) of installing SPD's to existing installations C.U. or in a standalone enclosure.
many thanks
I haven't fully understood yet the process of certification, notifiable works, LABC, schemes, and how they all tie up together.
Where can I read more about such terminologies, or what do they mean, do you need to be registered on a scheme to operate or even write out an EICR? If you don't want...
I'm pulling my hair out trying to get a definitive answer for the following query.

Seeking some advice - electrician has done 2 jobs - are either of these notifiable as he says he doesn't usually supply a certificate
1) installing new electric radiators - swapping out existing heaters and connecting up new ones to existing circuits
2) installing a power cable from consumer...

I'm a fully qualified electrician but I've always worked for companies. Currently a maintenance electrician at a hospital. I've done domestic in the past and I know outside work is notifiable. I ran some twin and earth to the back of the house and then outside I have a wiska box. Out of that is...
I'm sure this isn't the first time this has happened, but I've never encountered it before.
The situation is a house extension partially built. Clients have fallen out with builder/PM who have walked off the job three months ago.
An unknown sparks working for the builder has already done some...
Afternoon people...ive recently qualified and gained my gold card..was wondering EICR wise what software people use to generate reports. Cheers for any responses. Also wanted to enquire with regards to notifiable work is it simply a case that unless you get NICEIC OR napit registered then db...
I bought a house due to the largish workshop /garage which was already kitted out with an electrical connection from the house. Unfortunately however the old previous owner liked to do his own electrics and had not done a very good job and connected to a consumer unit in the garage which has...
Hi all. New member looking for some advice.
I would like to add some lighting to my garden shed, possibly one or two LED batten type fixtures.
I currently have three garden wall lights, running from the kitchen circuit. Is it possible to just re-route one of these lights via some plastic...
So I've been doing domestic for years, and thought about upgrading with napit to commercial installs.
Apparently commercial work is not notifiable, only need to register for eicrs (which don't even need registering with a scheme anyway)
So, if I changed a CU or installed a circuit, 3 phase...
