Hi all, Any advice on the following please?
I am a maintenance electrician. I have some experience working in domestics. I do fully understand domestic and commercial single and three phase wiring, and testing as this is my job.
My Qualifications:
My plan is to renovate a property and put in all new circuits myself in accordance with 18th edition. I will design and test everything myself first. I am very confident with 240v domestic circuit designing and testing. Most of my job is testing.
I would then like to get a domestic electrician in to do the EICR.
Big question: Would this work? Would a self-employed domestic electrician be happy to sign off my work if it is up to scratch? I will make sure the domestic electrician is paid well, I won’t scrape on this.
Reason I want to do this is because I want new modern circuits in the house and not pay over £10,000 for someone to do a job that I am capable of doing mostly myself e.g. chasing in cables and second fixing.
