Hi, I've contacted an electrician to install a new consumer unit, as well as a new ring main into the loft. I asked if his quote included the appropriate certification, I assume an EIC, he said "as far as certification is concerned you don't need any as it's straight replacements", I checked my local council building control regs which state that "notifiable works include a) The installation of a new circuit; b) The replacement of a consumer unit"
So is he trying to save me £480 by not making a building regs application for a £100 consumer unit? Or is he cutting corners and I should look for someone else? He appears to be legit, positive reviews on Ratedpeople and accredited by NAPIT. Could you guys advise, I don't know enough about certification to call him out on this but I don't want a cowboy job that I'll regret later..
Can anyone help?
