No, if it's notifiable and you're not registered with a scheme then inform BC! it will only come back and bite you!

You do have 28 days fom signing a job off to notify.
If you time it right it won't cost the labc charges.
Also, if other works been carried out, their cost automatically covers yours, although building control will try it on.

I've heard of a few scenarios where the assessor has asked to see the LABC notice and when one could not be produced it resulted in a failure. It's best to just pay up, and get it over with.
