NICEIC Certification Scheme niceic

[Farmelectrics]

question why do people get the domestic installer package when the approved contractor one is the same price ?????

 

[trev]

It didn't used to be. I looked at it a couple of years ago and DI was £400 ish, AC was a grand.

 

[Farmelectrics]

i phoned up yesterday and thats what he told me on phone trev

 

[Farmelectrics]

£449 + vat for approved contractor

Crikey, there's no difference now then./ This now cheapens AC status because all the DIs will now upgrade as soon as possible.
Can the last one out please shut the door and turn the lights off.

How many jobs do you have to show them now on the new discounted rate ? I believe it used to be 5 jobs and was a full day affair every year.
Has this dropped now as well as the price ?

It means nothing anyway. A local firm with niceic ( The home of contractural excellence ) plastered all over the van did some work on a friend of mines flat. 2 weeks later the guy decides he wants to sell the flat and gets matey back to do an eicr. When he reads the report the bloke has coded his own work. How excellent is that?

If this is true then this information along with copies of all paperwork need to go the the NICEIC in a formal complaint. If the action taken as a result of this complaint is not satisfactory then it needs to go to trading standards.

Taking the less than bothered schemes to task is the only way to improve standards in our ever diluted industry.

It is true. I called IET and NICEIC and discussed this with them to find out what they thought of the situation. I told them who I was but didn't identify the firm involved. Both said it was a case of double standards and niceic wanted to know the firm involved but as my mate is selling up he doesn't want any hassle.

 

[Andy78]

Please persuade him that the hassle is worthwhile. Dropping standards should not be allowed to be swept under the carpet by the supposed upholders of these standards.

I agree with everything you've said and I've told him the same but he doesn't want the bother.
It frustrates me to see things like this happen but as I was told " Thank you for finding out for me but it's up to me if I want to complain"
