What is STROMA never heard of it?

I only heard of them in this forum, someone mentioned that they were the cheapest. I also looked at the following information on gov.uk relating to Stroma:

1. you do not have to be in any of the cp scams to carry out inspection & testing. (as in . EICRs)

2. it's only of benefit when carrying out notifiable installation work as it saves you paying LABC exhorbitant fees.

3. notifiable works basically consist of: new circuits, CU changes and work in bathrooms, but only for certifying installations.

4. only consider joining a scam if you find you are going to be doing notifiable works ( e.g. as in remedials after your EICRs).

I think you pretty much have the answers in other replies.
In terms of economic sense - if you want to do notifiable remedial: my LABC charge £480 a time for leccy work! YES 480 EACH TIME! - At least Dick Turpin had the courtesy to wear a mask!! 480! ffs

Whereas I think I pay £1.80 to self-certify thro the scam !
