What you need my friend is a "multiple signature electrical installation certificate" said spark takes all responsible for the design and scribbles on the dotted line. You then employ another spark to conduct an initial verification who will scribble the dotted line and take responsibility for the testing side of things. Should be even easier as you said the 1st fix has already been signed off

You need to read the thread ...lol, spot on but late to the party :yes:

I have to disagree. A 3 signature Certificate is not intended to be used like this.

The Inspector needs access to the Design (to verify the installation against it) and must also be present during the Construction phase to ensure that routing of cables etc. has been done correctly (and any testing during construction before completion if necessary).

It is NOT designed for an unknown party to arrive after all the wiring is concealed and simply sign some test results - the inspection is the more important part of the process and cannot now be done completely. Initial Verification isn't really possible now.

So periodic inspection and testing is probably the only realistic answer if Building Control are satisfied with that. (And that's entirely their decision.)

I'm with Napit and have signed up for the 3rd party notification scheme. I've done a few sign off for my mate as I know the quality of his work and also done a couple for unregistered installers (Cowboys haha) tbh I pretty much do a full periodic and the installer signs the form for design/construction. I then provide cert and part p notification after receiving my hefty fee as I don't like hand writing Certs out now

I was under the impression that 3rd Party Sign Off wasn't allowed for Part Pee!

Re: Self Build - Electrician refusing to certify due to ill health - Ruining my life

This seems odd to me, I am surprised that the electrician who did the work does not know anybody who could do the tests for him and if need be complete the cert and all he would have to do is sign it. If I was in a similar position and to ill to work I know several sparks who would test it for me.
Put yourself in the sparks position how many of you would not be able to ring a mate to do the testing for you?

Most BC's will accept an EICR if done 100%. I have done this a few times and the client always received the Part P cert after sending my report to the BC. The excuses I got from the client was "the electrician that did the install has emigrated to Oz"lol. What they realy mean is they have done the work themselves and need a cert.

Cheers

My LBC charge a fee of £618 for a regularisation cert, not sure how it physically works, unless they employ a sparks for an EICR or third party thing?

A distinct possibility detective Midwest . Or he hasn't payed the sparks bill so the sparky won't sign off .

All speculation of course .

looking at the OP's profile, he posted 3 days ago and hasn't been back since.

Muppet!
