I blame Channel 5 with all this Cowboy Builder etc.

the customer now thinks everyone in the trade is a crook, just to get their ratings up

With photographic evidence then I would hear the complainant out. No evidence other than a disgruntled customers opinion and anecdotal hearsay then there isn’t anything to listen to.

To the OP (original poster), provide evidence and we may help. Otherwise stop singing. (You seem to have done anyway).

To others, I’ve never been in the domestic trade, but I’m disgusted at the way you react to outside criticism. Knifes out, not a trace of closing ranks. Mike you and I have had our disagreements in the past, but, as regards the way this trade is going we are in agreement.

Agreed, it can be difficult to explain the importance of some work without them probably thinking your just trying to put the scares up them. Programmes like that usually tell you to watch out for scaremongers, but when there's electricity, there's (potentially) serious danger about

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, I don't mean to bash sparks. The problem arose when we discovered he was no longer Part P registered, so he wouldn't have signed the work off with Building Control. I'm under the impression, that other electricians are not allowed to sign off someone else's rewire. I'll see what the electrician says tomorrow and take it from there. The original electrician is long gone anyway and if he's been paid 7.5k then he's fine. It's just between me and the contractor now. And as for Elecsa, they couldn't tell me why he was suspended, so I have no idea whether it was a failed assessment or a non payment of membership fees. Maybe if Elecsa could have told me, I would have more peace of mind but they said they couldn't because of Data Protection. Thanks for all your help and have a good night

Correct the only thing another electrician can do is issue an EICR (condition report). Unless you find another one that uses a horse for transportation. :24: :cowboy:

when you hear of unregistered sparks getting £10k rewires.

because I'm charging less and paying more
