NICEIC Certification Scheme filing a complaint with NICEIC - is it worth the bother?

Tut tut. Choc block in the fuse board

Choc block could well be from where he had to cut out the damaged cables and extend them?

there are much better options these days...

Can anybody make out any kind of grommet strip or any form of protection for the tails coming in? I'm tired, my eyes hurt but I cant see any.

*Edit - upon closer inspection I think I see bare, cut metal at the bottom and outer sheath of T&E at the top. Classy

NO.

If you look at the top of the entry hole there is stripped cable insulation covering the metal edge

Given the often crap grommet strip that these manufacturers provide with their metal consumer units,its no wonder some may resort to doing what is shown in the picture
Its advisable to always have some decent strip in the tool bag to compensate for a product not fit for purpose

 

[Des 56]

The electrician could also rightly disclaim any more responsibility for that consumer unit

Faults that have or may occur leaves the Kitchen fitter with that responsibility
He altered the location,he re-fixed,he disturbed dressed cables,he may have disturbed the grommet,he was the last person to work on the consumer unit

And a bit of bad planning having to be moved in the first place.

There are other options, but choc block isn't the best idea in my books .. seeing thinks like this just makes you wonder about the thought processes...

Shame theres sooo much NICEIC battering going on

If he's an Approved Contractor he HAS to have a formal complaints procedure. Don't know if it applies to the 'Domestic Installer' scheme. Normally it is put your complaint in writing to him. If he fails to fix the problem you can complain to the NICEIC. If they agree with you then they can have the work rectified under their Platinum promise scheme upto a value of (I think) £25,000. Basically, if an Approved Contractor the NICEIC guarantee his work.

I don't know if it is still the same with NICEIC when registering online for building control it used to show fee plus I think it was £1.50 insurance for insurance scheme.
