Electric work urgent question

[callumforhelp]

When an electrician installs new wiring + fuse box what paper work does he need to provide?

 

[Octopus]

An electrical installation certificate and if you are in England or Wales - Part P certificates.

Why the question?

 

[westward10]

Part P if domestic only.

 

[callumforhelp]

in England and waiting on electrician to complete wiring to the new part of the build. Is there a sample of what the certificate(s) look like so I know we have the correct documents for the council?

thank you for responding fast

You should be talking to the spark or builder - if the spark says he's going to give it to the builder ............. you need to make sure the builder gives it to you...........

Are your local building control involved?

 

[callumforhelp]

the electrician stated he will provide the electrical installation condition report/certificate which is 2 pages that go to the council to approve, is this correct or I need to ask for additional paper work, if so which specific ones? and do you have a sample of what it looks like?

 

[Octopus]

Right .......... so 1 spark started the work, and another has taken over - is this correct?

 

[callumforhelp]

the new electrician started from scratch, fitting the fuse box + wiring which is all wired up and working

Part P if domestic only.

What is to disagree about Part P applies to domestic so wouldn't be applicable if it were outside of this remit except in some cases.

so you should receive a EIC ( electrical installation certificate) which is generally about 6 pages including schedule of tests. the electrician then notifies the work through niceic or whichever scam he's in and you then eventually receive a completion certificate from building control.

As Murdock has already stated , you should have a building regulations compliance certificate (part P for domestic works) and an electrical installation certificate

does the Part P come from the council? or the electrician should provide it. We have direct contact with the council so my advise was to forward the 2 page EICR to the council for final approval. If I need an EIC as well as an EICR then I will contact the electrician, or a Part P certificate too? if the electrician has to provide that?

thanks in advance.

How long ago did he finish? Have you paid him?

I don't see where an EICR comes into it.
