Afternoon all,
I have a problem in that I have made an administrative error in regards to switching my registration from NAPIT to ELECSA. It's going to mean that in a few weeks I will technically be unregistered as one ends and the other begins. (Around 5 weeks although this could be reduced if there is a cancellation and they can squeeze me in earlier). Obviously this poses a problem for me with notifiable work and how to overcome this issue.
If say I have a rewire, would it be advised that I notify building control before I start work, even though by the time of signing off the work, I will be back in the game as it were? Also, if I do notify BC then contact them to let them no that their services are no longer required, will I be charged for doing so?
My other issue then would be notifiable work for small jobs that just take a day or so. I am thinking if I explain my situation to a customer, more so a new one, that they are unlikely to want me to do the work for them and certainly wouldn't want to fork out for BC to sign it off. I could issue them with all the necessary paperwork and say to them that I'll collect payment when they receive their letter of notification, at least that way, I wouldn't be seen as some fly by night spark but it is not a legit way of carrying out the work.
I know in all reality that notifying BC is the correct thing to do but I'm after the thoughts of what any of you guys would do if you were in my situation?
It's all the more annoying to me because it's my fault that this is going to happen and it could end up costing me ÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁ's either through lost work or paying BC.
Cheers
