Replacing a consumer unit in garage

[pjr1234]

Hi

Ive just joined this site, and I'm hoping someone can help me with a query.

I am currently selling my house, and on the survey, the surveyor picked up the electrics did not look very safe in the garage. I hold 2391 and so does the engineer I employ. Although we don't do domestic wiring as our normal job.

We have replaced the consumer unit in the garage and two circuits in the garage, one lighting circuit, and one circuit for a double socket. The buyers solicitors have asked to see the Electrical safety certificate after the work has been done.

As it is a replacement consumer unit, we have done a new installation certificate, with schedule inspections and test results.

We are not Niceic registered. Do we need someone who is Niceic registered to sign it off, or are our 2391 quals sufficient. It's just holding up the house sale at the moment, and I just want to make sure its right before i send it to the buyers solicitors.

Thanks

Pete

should be perfectly OK. all they want is some paperwork to say that it's safe.strictly speaking, the work should have been notified.

Crickey was the job big enough for you and your engineer you employ to carry out, sound like a one man job to me :drunk:

One tip, if you both have the 2391 is to get your mate to sign it.

All praise niceic. Seriously under part p the work you have done is notifiable to labc and because you haven't informed them of the work being done they will have not issued a bc notice to say this work has been comlpeted to part p may not be acceptable to buyers solicitors .

If i get someone who is Niceic to sign it off, do I have still have inform labc?

You are unfortunately in a part P pickle
You may have to pay the council for retrospective notification and about 200 big ones

or nudge wink
You could ask a member,someone local like Tel, to come and check the work done,if he was satisfied its good enough for him to adopt the work as if he had done it himself, you were then to pay him in the region of 120 pounds,a deal could be struck
