Full House Rewire - Received Schedule but No Part P

[JayMax]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone could give me advice about a sutuation.
A couple of years ago I had a property fully rewired, no issues with the job and I paid the electrician in full. Job done.
Once I'd paid I received an automated NAPIT Desktop email titled "Your Certificate". I mistakenly assumed this certificate was the Part P.
Now two years laters I'm getting some minor electrical work done using a different electrician. He asked for documentation.
So, as you may guess it transpires that what was given for the rewire was an Inspection & Test Schedule certificate.
I've emailed and called the original electrician but emails are unanswered and mobile phone calls get cut off. The contact details I'm using are still current according to his Facebook page and website.
I called NAPIT for help but he has now moved to ELECSA, so NAPIT can't/won't do anything. They advise to contact LABC and see if they'll accept an EICR.

What do I do here?
If he has done the Schedules then surely the Part P would be a minor thing to sort?
I don't understand the convoluted notification process, the new electrician tried to explain it, but it seems that NAPIT may not have notified the LABC?
There were no issues with the job, I paid in full on completion so I'm at a loss as to why he would not have issued Part P.
So I'm unhappy that I'll have aproperty with no Part P should Icome to sell it, and have to pay for an EICR if LABC will accept it.

Does anyone have any advice please?
Will ELECSA get involved when he wasn't a member at the time?
Trading Standards?

Thank you

Right,has anybody asked the OP what the original agreement was,with the original electrician? Scope of works? Contract? A well meaning "...don't worry about it mate,i'll sort it...) ?

Thought,Hope and Expected,are all things which will help nobody,years down the line.

If the OP does not suspect any problems from the first work,and the second spark has not found any,crack on. Any future sale of the property will not be at risk,to any higher degree,than any other,bearing in mind,a purchaser or their agent can request any type of survey or testing they wish.

There seem to be a lot of replies here that seem as confused as the OP is about certification.

After the rewire there should have been two separate and distinct certificates 1) the Electrical Installation Certificate (which as has rightly been said, the new electrician doesn't necessarily need and may be looking to save himself some time (although if he wants it to compare his test results with the previous, that's a valid reason)), and 2) the Part P certificate which I believe is the one the OP hasn't got and is asking about.

The original electrician would have produced the EIC using paper, software or his schemes software if they offer it (NAPIT have NAPIT Desktop).

The Part P certificate is produced by the LABC and if so selected, can be sent to the householder as well as going on their records. LABC produce the certificate as a result of the electrician notifying them of the work he's carried out. That, in NAPITs case, is done by filling in an online form in a database which NAPIT then notify to LABC. Although of course he could also have included LABCs inspection in his job price and they would have done it.

If the original electrician e.g. created his EIC online with NAPITs Desktop software, it wouldn't automatically generate a Part P notification in the earlier versions and he would have had to do that separately just as he would have if he'd done a paper or Non NAPIT EIC.

The OPs right, if he wants to sell the house, he'll be asked for the Part P certificate. If he hasn't got one, some LABCs will accept a recent 'Satisfactory' EICR in it's place
