Non Part P Insulation Certificates

[Spazz]

I have just replaced a number of socket fronts in a property like for like - therefore non part P.

They want an insulation certificate, which I have no problem with. I am therefore giving them a miner works certificate, do I need to include the Scheduled Inspection Sheets for socket front covers as well as the test results or are they not required in this case?

I will be coming back in a weeks time to change the CU where all the tests will be done then.

I have tested each socket as I fitted them individuality, and know they are all up to standard.


Thanks in advance

are you lagging the loft too?

 

[Spazz]

no, just the ground floor sockets, as most covers where cracked.

The on site guide shows what is required for minor works. Schedules and results are for an EIC.

btw. I think darkwood was taking the p about you mistyping installation

Like the loft insulation its still over your head!!!! (Installation Cert' may be a better choice of word)

Why are you supplying a certificate for changing socket fronts?

I'd just write out what work you had done on your invoice to them.

Just seen what you ment - not insulation - but installation - lol - typo


Im actually using the Electrical installation Cert, instead of the minor - already written out - lol



I just need to know if I should complete test results and test certs as the property is on the old CU, no RCD, old fuses. I put a CU change as a recommendation, which they booked with me for a few weeks time after I done my assessment.

I have done the earth loop, line conductor, insulation and voltage test on everything and got all the results to hand now if I need them

They wanted a certificate, dont know why.
I think it might have something to do with them selling the house in the future - they want a cert, Im not going to question it - I did offer to put both the socket faces and CU change on the same one, but they didnt want that - I dont care to be honest - more money for me as I spent another hour doing the tests after - another £15 in my pocket for such an easy job.

Just do a Minor works cert, and fill in the appropriate tests that it asks you to do.
Why make things difficult.

It is a minor works , i know its only the socket front you have changed and not altered the installation but how do you know a wire has not poped out when you put the face plates back on , having said that i do tend to use an EIC when its a ring main , you should change the board before your assesment you can then use it as a sample install

Why make things difficult indeed???? A MWC for replacing socket fronts????

because his customer wanted a certificate

I got that bit. It's the annoyance about how misinformed people are about Part P and certification of electrical work in their homes.

I'd be willing to wager that the OP's customer thinks that they HAVE to have a cert for the work.

Napit wants more than just a CU change - plus I have my own CU change and an additional circuit into a cupboard where my dryer is, they will be happy with that.

As Napit only wants 1 job, I would rather take them to my house instead of a customers.

This costumer is very picky as well, she already picked up that Im waiting for my assessment when she asked for my reg number - took a while to explain that front socket changes are not under Part P, and dont require a cert, but she insisted in the min of a cert.

She is the type that wont even change a plug herself, she asked me to do it - I dont care its all money - did think about sending my misses to change the plug mind - lol
