How would this sit with Part Wee

[trev]

This happened a couple of years before Part Wee was introduced and I just wonder how it would be looked at now. Picture the scene.
It's friday, snowing, 16:30 and bloody cold, I get a call from a lady who has a total power failure so off I go to her house. Had a bit of a dig to find out the problem, long story short it's a loose neutral which has burnt out the supply side of the main switch on an old Wylex rewireable CU. I've got a split load 16th edition CU with me from a job that got postponed so after explaining the benefits of it she agrees to me fitting it. There's an isolator fitted already so jobs a goodun there.
I fitted the new one, everything tests out fine, lights are on heating is up and running, she can now cook a meal for her kids. Cert done, money changes hands and everyone is happy.
Obviously this does not apply at the time, but suppose it happened now. I'm not registered with a scam provider and there is not the time available to get LABC involved so the question is, how would this sit with the wonderful regulations that we now must adhere to?

I called my local councils building control dept last week to find out how much it was. They didn't know. Nor could they tell me their procedure for notifiable work. Their advice " Errr... just get registered with the NIC, it's a lot easier"

It's the client's responsibility to make notification (always assuming that they are aware of Part P and the requirement for notification).

The point I was trying to make, albeit somewhat obtusely, was that if the job had been undertaken by a part pee registered spark, then there would be no fee to even discuss.

As a customer, I would be well pi$$ed off if some spark came out, did some work and got paid for it, only to then be told I now have to shell out for the LABC fee. I would consider it sharp practice.
