What certification do I need?

Andrew Witt · Nov 10, 2018

Hi folks, this will probably be obvious to most folks on here but I'm new to this. A friend is putting together a quote to rewire my house. He is a qualified and very experienced electrician working for a big local firm but this will be a private job. He's not joined one of the schemes like neceic as an individual as he's an employee for a big firm and works under that. When talking about certification, he insists I only need an installation certificate. The work is obviously notifiable so I don't really understand why he is saying I only need an installation certificate. Surely I need a part p certificate issued by a member of one of the schemes or I need to have the work inspected by the local authority? This may just be a misunderstanding on my part.

Thanks for any advice.

Does your sparky mate have other self employed sparky mates that might assist with notification for a fee?
