NICEIC Certification Scheme comfused by NICEIC statement

[hoitytoity]

estate agent is my profession plus Im a,budding diyer mainly carpentry matters plus trainee electrician (started this year) . AGAIN No need to be so rude.

I MADE A STATEMENT VERY EARLY ON IN THIS THREAD THAT I HAD ALL THE INFO I NEEDED. You have made this thread into something it isn't. If you simply repeating what a previous electrician has said, please don't go and undermine him with another posting and don't go on rambling about 'bloody customers'. it gives the impression that you've been in trouble many times.


NOW PLEASE STOP POSTING FOR PITYS SAKE!

we've established that it's clearly not finished . I said thread over two pages ago. That is all i need to know.

You posted a picture of a socket without the faceplate on, it hardly needed to be 'established' that it's not finished.

I really worry for your industry when you defend a spark trying to do very poor building work as well as you think it's right he should be taking me to court for unfinished work.

No one's defended bad building work, this is an electricians forum, look it up.
Maybe you should try a builders forum.

You have been nothing but downright offensive towards my profession.

To be fair to the lads and lasses on this forum, your 'profession' is an easy target really. I imagine you get this wherever you pop up on line.

I'm sure this thread would have been alot shorter if;
1 You'd been clearer what you were asking in your first post
2 you'd answered people's questions clearly
3 the story and so called facts hadn't kept changing along the way
4 you hadn't been quite so abrasive.

Still, all's well that ends well, and it's been pretty entertaining.

I am asking myself why would an electrician/builder take their customer to court and the only reason that I can think of is non-payment and you are clutching at straws of reasons why you have not paid him. All through this post facts are being added. From what you have posted the only thing that I can see is safe isolation I am guessing that this is live to retain sockets working in the rest of the building and an extension box should have been fitted and a blank plate or socket.

Hows the job suppose to be finished when the wall isnt skimmed?

What a total plank

So, you've hired an electrician who is also a builder to carry out remedial works. This guy came recommended by your painter and decorator. So far I see nothing wrong with what you've done.

The damp issue is not electrically related so this is the wrong place to discuss it, having said that as the Electrician/Builder (E/B) has represented himself as competent to carry out this work then he is responsible for it being to a reasonable standard which it clearly isn't. Again I can see nothing wrong in what you have done.

This assumes that the work done is by his recommended method using his recommended materials. If on the other hand he is carrying out works to somebody else's specification then that's a different situation.

To clarify, if you have instructed the E/B to board out the wall and make good the electrical issues and not specifically mentioned that there is a damp issue to resolve then you're on sticky ground.

This is quite typical in that work is often tendered without a clear specification in the hope a contractor spends time, effort and money diagnosing problems and proposing solutions.

From a contractors point of view this is frustrating as many unscrupulous clients then put this work product out to tender looking for the lowest possible price.

The electrical issue you've presented us with is trivial and easily remedied and I don't believe is the cause of your conflict, rather an attempt to add supporting evidence to your defense of the E/B's claim.

Other than possibly not being competent to source these kind of works you haven't done a great deal wrong if, and it's the big if, you've told us everything.

I'd personally be reviewing all my communications and making sure all details are correct and that the E/B has definitely failed to deliver against what is written, not what you think should have been done.

Also I'd be communicating with the E/B and attempting to resolve the issues by mutual consent.

Oh and change career, estate agents are scum and it should be held against you in court, in my humble opinion.

NOW PLEASE STOP POSTING FOR PITYS SAKE!

You do realise you can leave the thread whenever you want!!!
If you go to a party and decide to leave early, does that mean all the other guests have to stop talking once you've left.

Personally I hope he keeps posting. I'm sure he will as he seems to be like a dog with a bone.

Is that a known fact or assumption?

 

[Sintra]

He / she or it must think they’re forum staff giving out the orders like that

OK, he/she then.

No one can say I am not well behaved, I mean Not jumping in over the last 5 or 6 pages have been very difficult, but I managed it lol, this thread is turning into a road crash and the OP is driving lol.

 

[GMES]

I think we should keep it going for them in their absence.
Plus the fact it will annoy the hell out of them.

Me childish, who said that.

I wrote this message out (below)
yesterday at about 3.50pm.....and forgot to post it as a reply. Unfortunately, I've just spent a wasted 30 mins reading some usual bunkum, as a result. Maybe I should have recognized signs of an estate agent/DIY builder/trainee electrician.....and even the fact there was going to be a court case involved.

''It looks like someone's after a bit of vindication...…..again!
A load of Maarrd and minor points when all he needs is someone on site to inspect and give a good idea of how the situation stands. He's after free info....as long as it concurs with his mindset.''
