NICEIC Certification Scheme Certificate missing items is this ok?

stuartworley · Mar 9, 2020

Hi All

I just have my Kitchen done with new sockets, lights etc and they have provided a certificate with only the hob and cooker and it says its an addition.

Would this not come under new and should they included the new lights, light switches installed and plug sockets? I don't want to cause the guy any bother but I want to make sure that I have the correct certificate.

Thanks
Stu

Its an addition to the electrical installation as a whole. if they've added lights and sockets then you would also need a certificate with a minor works being the minimum. Maybe the hob is on a new circuit and was installed by an electrician and the rest has been chucked in by the kitchen fitters.

Changing switches and sockets like for like does not need a cert. only if there’s any changes to the circuits (minor works) or they are new circuits entirely.

If it was run from the consumer unit then it requires an electrical installation certificate and it is also notifiable to labc. if it was added to existing sockets then it requires a minor electrical works certificate.

As the circuits have just been altered, I would suggest a Minor Works Certificate would of been suitable.

When I was doing kitchen refurbishments, the online software I used, required one for each circuit. Other types can be just one certificate.
