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...

Whats the merit between a niceic/napit/elecsa certificate vs a standard bs7671 certificate (available online) for a condition/periodic report?

Evening guys!
Anybody a member of this ? Never really came across them before but have noticed a few local electricians are members, apart from it being fairly cheap , has anybody got any other pros and cons for them?

Eh up :)
Just had my Stroma CPS assessment this afternoon. It went really well! The chap was very thorough, but having all the paperwork ready for him on the kitchen table (and a recently-boiled kettle) helped. :) Nice to have an intelligent technical conversation with someone - actually...
