NICEIC Certification Scheme supposed niceic registered dangerous work

[SYKRAPS]

I suppose the other thing now to consider is that you were the last person to work on the circuit by changing the characteristics and have overwritten any previous testing of the circuit in question whether it was required or not, I feel after re-reading the original post that it was more replacement/maintenance.

why im getting stick for this ill never know

because you didnt get your facts straight before jumping in and calling another electrician a cowboy.
learn from it and move on.

Thanks for your input, im simply finding out where i stand but seem to be getting aggro for it cheers

You stand no chance of getting your money back, you carried out work that was not authorised by the owner of the property on an installation which was most likely fully complient at the time it was originally installed.
You risk a counter claim from the property owner and put your Ex's tenancy at risk.

Re the possibly falsley advertising membership of an organisation, if correct then the organisations will deal with that appropriately if you report the facts.

If it was your job deanodean Would you tell a customer they must have an RCD fitted ? , to me your lack of understanding is potentially more of a crime as your charging people for work that's not required.

I didnt tell, i made the recomendation and they accepted. I did this free at cost so where this " charging for not needed work " is coming from i dont know. I just wasnt happy with my girlfriend and 3yo daughter using it without one. Billion to 1 chance or not...

Say if you wanted to go back in time and fataly destroy Thatcher in the 1980's, which fiendish plot would you choose....A. poison in a milk bottle? or, B. re-fit her shower without RCD protection?

 

[shocking_eg]

work was authorised

so why not charge them ? for parts and labour if it was agreed ?

 

[snowhead]

I questioned them on it but nothing was done so i fitted RCD shower unit and billed them at cost with NO labour charge as i was genuinly concerned for my ex and her 3yo daughter. Now im getting problems with the letting agent paying me unbelievable!!

No mention of them agreeing to pay anything for the work here.

 

[deanodean]

gobsmacked. i came on here with a quite reasonable question but have spent most of the time defending myself. quite dismayed at the attitude of some, to those that did help thanks.

 

[shocking_eg]

get over it i guess, the fact is you have probably made it safer for your misses and daughter. a shower units only £40 anyway. worth the money

they agreed at cost and no labour as she was my gf...................................

Get a sense of humour, A or B?

If the letting agents web site is listing trade organisations then maybe they are saying that any contractors they use are registered with the appropriate organisations.
As for the tiler not fitting an RCD, well as I see it no 1 he was not qualified to do so, 2 he removed a fitting and reinstalled the same fitting, so as far as I am aware even in a bathroom it is allowed with out being qualified at all.
As to the safety matter, well an RCD makes things safer but you have interfered with someone else's property without permission and then sent them a bill!!!
Your intentions are very good but I am not sure you did the right thing on a rented property.

your missing my point, say I called you to my house to move my shower so the tiler could get in..... From what you have said you would have told me that an RCD was now required, and if I was to trust your judgement as a professional electrician and let you get on with it as customers sometimes do............ Are you getting my point?

i gave clear , direct answers to your original question regarding rcd's in my first 3 posts.
