Good morning all,
I have passed my 2365 level 2, nearly my 2365 level 3, and am enrolled onto my NVQ Level 3.
I have recently seen an electrician in my area who is a NAPIT Part P Approved contractor who seems to be working on domestic and commercial installs, he is charging the same rate as...
My father (now 80 years of age) has renovated a house. The electrician has rewired it, the building regs people have inspected it and gave the go ahead to plasterboard and finish it. At this point the electrician disappeared, we have asked in the village, one said he passed away in covid, now my...
Good evening all
Just wanted to run a question past those who might have time to look at it
Basically, I have my NVQ level 2 and am gaining experience in the field at the moment, working as an electrician's mate (self employed/sole trader, effectively sub contracting) mainly in domestic. At...
Hi,
Wickes have just finished installing a pump under the bath. The socket is next to the pump but it is unaccessible due to a sealed bath panel. I’m not sure if this is ok. We were given no certificate on completio but I’m not sure if it is needed or not. The supply comes from the airing...
Hi all,
I am going to fully rewire my house. What do I HAVE to do once I’ve rewired it? I am an approved spark, but do not have part P. Do I need to get an EICR by an a registered company or?
Hi all,
New to the forum! Quick background on me: I have a degree in electrical engineering and spent many years working with qualified electricians on house re-wires. I never qualified as an electrician as I went down the IT route but I can rewire a house with no concerns - not that I would as...
Hi all
We've had some works done in our kitchen which has involved fitting a new cooker circuit, installing some downlights to replace ceiling roses, and adding a couple of sockets via a spur. The approach is that the fitter does it and then the work is signed off (yes I know I should have used...
Hello everyone,
I hope nobody minds that my first post is a question. We have a bit of a situation brewing at home with regards to our new shower room. We had an electrician scheduled to come as part of the bathroom installation, but he had to give backword. As the electrics are now holding...
I am looking to join a CPS. I have looked at NIC Napit and Blue Flame. Just for a small cost difference Napit a Nic look to be a better option.
Anyway, I thought I understood the whole part p thing but having a recent discussion with a sparky friend of mine today he said the following,
"so...
Hi all, looking for some advice, ive got my 236 Parts 1 & 2, AM1, 18th Edition, Testing & Inspection, how do i go about registering for Part P, being able to provide test certificates etc? Thanks, Tony.
Hi there...I'm pleased to find, hopefully, somewhere to answer a situation I find myself in. I'll try and compress the long saga...
In July 2020 I had a full rewire done on my house. Qualified electrician, tick. Registered with NECIEC (I now find out he wasn't). Competent, now I find out not...
Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions for a reference for electricians to the other parts of the building regs other than part p?
either an actual book or an online reference.
cheers

Evening.
Was asked to carry out a test (non registered kitchen fitter installed circuits) so could only offer EICR on those circuits although what they really wanted was an install and Part P.
EICR would fail anyway so am walking away from that one, but do you know if anyone follows it up as a...
Reminer please as I've not been paying much attention to Part P changes - assuming that an existing install meets 2018 EICR 'requirements' - would a replacement swap of a faulty shower unit be notifiable works?
Good morning everyone,
