hi all,
My name is Rikhil and I live in canary wharf. I recently had a new kitchen installed and as part of the job I agreed with builder to get an electrician to install a new s17 fusebox and a new circuit for the kitchen. I also agreed with him to get the work done in compliance with all regulations and provide me certificates etc.
He got some guy to install the fusebox and circuit but when I ask him for the certificate says that guy is qualified electrician but not able to sign off as that requies another certification. He has gotten some other electrician to send a certificate of installation but the certificate says the work was an alteration only and details of the installation section says 'fixed wiring and testing of commission only'. Now he is asking me for the balance of the money for the job.
I think my builder is trying to fool me because the job he has done was a notifiable job and I don't think the council has NOat been notified because the guy he sent wasn't registered. Can someone please advise what I need to do here to make sure I am not in breach of regulations and is there any forum to complain about this builder ? He charged me 1000 pounds for this work which took the guy who came to do it about 2 hours !! And now I don't even have assurance it was done in a compliant manner.pleawe help !!
Thanks very much
Regards
Rikhil
