NICEIC / ELECSA / NAPIT - how did you get on with the assessment?

[jase]

Had my first Elecsa assessment Thursday passed with an A ,only wanted one job CU change in a bungalow . He was a really easy going man put me right at ease guided me thru had to do Ze test and RCD test he went thru all the necessary paperwork and even dropped off a few good tips for me, looking forward to next year now!

Just wondering, how long a time between applying/paying your fee, and the guy actually coming to asses?? i want to put mine in but am not quite ready yet

Miner69er where abouts are you? I had ray too.. very helpfull.

I used a mains change on a farmhouse (TT)
And an outdoor socket fed from RFC

Helpline is very good, If they cant answer there and then they always rang me back within 15 minutes.

They never dictate to you or talk down to you, no matter how silly your question may be to others, Elecsa always help and give you a detailed answer.

Cant fault them, From what ive heard they do more for the contractor than any other scheme.. At least i feel i'm getting better value for my yearly premium.

Was it Ray Chivers?

i had my elecsa assessment a week ago, aslong as you have your books and liability insurance and know the basics from the regs, cable capacity table etc, i was asked a few questions on new builds, socket heights, energy efficient bulbs etc, then make sure your board has all the stickers it needs.
tests i done were ze, fault currents and end to end on a ring. i was asked about all the rest.

Ive got my assessment this afternoon done a rewire about two months ago on a refurb empty house thought this would be the best job for the assessor to look at got the keys yesterday opened up went to cupboard under the stairs where the consumer unit is positioned and in my absence the plumber has been there only brought his gas main within 5mm of the unit so what do you say to the assessor. ive asked the owner to get it repositioned telling him it should be at least 150mm away just hope he does it cant believe my luck

Even if it gets seen as a non compliance then when its moved, all you'll need to do is take photo evidence and send it to you scheme provider.

Like GSXR says, it complied when you did the work.

You've got your certs and surley the plumber will have had to leave his gas safe cert at the property, so this will act as evidence that your work was done first
