Talk about taking the P***

[Markyd]

Hope everyone is good...Just got back from seeing a client where i have got the job of running a new circuit for some garden power and wall lights....just asked if she had any other quotes and was told that another sparky who is NICEIC had quoted as well but was £150 more for labour,fair enough but he also quoted £400 for NOTIFYING Building Control...WTF

do you hand write your certs?

i wouldnt employ you with attitude like that.

no I dont hand write them all done on a pc neater ,I did once ,my attitude is nothing do with charging for time working on my pc and paper work never had a problem.

All done online with pdf free copies, dont know how you can charge some1 to just click resend only takes 1min, maybe in not ruthless enough

They still have to be OK'd and sent to the client from the authority, though.....via post. Therefore paper can be lost.

I used to save a copy to my laptop, when I used the Certsure software. If I recall, you could still access the particular certificate (EIC/MW) when using their web site. You could probably copy & paste it, but I'm not sure if there's some copyright law infringement going on there.

And as I have to maintain my records on my laptop, backing up etc (if I recall, there's some kind of requirement to maintain certificates), I would make a charge, not withstanding copyright.

A builder phoned me a while back and said I hadn't done a part P on a job a good few years back. They were moving house and needed a copy. I found it on the 'past records' so just sent him the registration number....proof and job done. Didn't charge him, by the way.
