B&Q approved electrician

[james the spark]

Can anyone tell me how do you become an approved electrician for the likes of B&Q and Wicks for there kitchen and bathroom installs.

 

[Mr Mike]

Only a guess, maybe speak to the project section mand ask if you can be added to their approved contractors list, (assuming one exists).

B&Q only give their works out as complete projects ie the whole kitchen including gas and electric works, they have a system for the kitchen fitters elctricians to submit certificates that goes through NAPIT

Wickes it seems contract the work out and I am having difficultys trying to find out how to get on their books

Iv found the same with wicks from what iv been told by one of my mates that is a kitchen fitter for them you have to get in with the fitters directly. but there as to be better way.

Bloke near me went and got list of kitchen fittest from kitchen section in store

Personally I wouldn't bother.

Been working for a subby kitchen fitter working for Kutchen haus. They never allow enough cash to do a decent job. The amount of jobs i have been to kitchens all ripped out and they want you to start moving adding sockets and there no bonding in place. This is after they do a survey before pricing for the job!

One of their favourites is socket/fcus in cupboards and sometimes even cooker isolators.

Makes me laugh though, customer stood there not even knowing that they were having any electrical works done
