I know of a kitchen fitter who likes to bragg in the pub about how a sparky signs of his "work".................its only a matter of time..............

Any registered domestic installer who signs off other persons work risks losing his license and possible prosecution. Get qualified and registered yourself or STOP doing the work you are robbing all the legal guys out there

Yeah but who actually Police's it.
Do these people ever get caught out?

 

[platty1005]

Just like benefit fraud they get caught if someone dobs them in

 

[Rockingit]

Kitchen fitters can actually get themselves limited-scope Part P anyway, just like the Gas Safe guys, so it says a lot about exactly how cow-boy some people can really be.

I think one of the main points is the general public. They are still unaware of the need for a Part P registered electrician to complete nearly all works. I am so fed up with "qualified electrician" on literature and vans where I live. This means nothing but to the general householder, they are led to believe that they are having work carried out legitimately. Because they have no fees to pay, they can also charge less & undercut us legitimate businesses ( I am an approved contractor BTW). I am sure this topic has been discussed a million times but I am a newbie so sorry for rattling on! Can you tell this a sore point?:evil2:

Sorry to bring this all up again, but I need to find out how you go about completing second fix, and testing and certification of a property, when another part p registered spark has done the first fix?

I have said that I will not sign off for his work, but how in reality do you get around that? Get a signature from him for design and installation, along with my signature for the installation and testing?

Any help much appreciated.

Why isn't the chap who did the first fix not doing the second fix??????????

I don't know Murdoch, hopefully finding that out tomorrow!

You could perhaps issue a 3 part EIC, with the person ordering the work, signing off for design and construction, and you just signing off the I&T?

As you've said, you'll need a three signature cert, the orig spark will need to sign the design and install bit and you the testing bit (when it passes ).

 

[edrobbo8]

That's what I thought, will ring ELECSA tomorrow to confirm. Thanks for the help guys!

 

[edrobbo8]

It's for a construction company, so they would be ordering the work. So could they sign the design and installation part?!

If they are responsible for the work, then yes.
Being responsible for the work, doesn't necessarilly mean they actually did the work.
