which electrical certificate

[Daniel81]

Hi all,
Please don't slate me, saying i should know this already, im asking for advice not a dig.
i have not long started up my new business and have i have just taken on my first big job. im fully qualified and registered with Benchmark. So heres the job, a complete renovation of an old property, on my side and electrical wise its a complete rewire and many additions, outside lighting, LED Bath panel lighting, kitchen Pelmet LED lighting, Testing & Inspecting etc etc. heres the questions,
1- what certificates should i use, due to it being a rewire plus additions.
2- He has first fixed the downstairs ( house is set out as, bedrooms, bathroom downstairs, living room, kitchen upstairs) i would like to dead test the circuits, however without testing each individual piece of cable due to him terminating each cable in the patresses etc, he has not added accessories just terminated the cable. what's your recommendations. ive heard of bad results from using connector blocks and i dont think is good practice, i could be wrong, im asking.
3- The LED in bath panel- the bath panel will be marble, i do not fancy due to my inexperience drilling into a £300 piece of marble.
4- He has the power distribution company coming out to move the position of the mains incoming. as currently its down stairs connected to the distribution board, and he wants it moved upstairs, could i not just insert a cut off switch and take the tails to the upstairs, inside regulations, to the the distribution board. saving him a couple of grand. or just let him crack on and waste his money.

If your thinking ive bitten off more than i can chew, maybe your right, but i need to learn and i work is slow so i cant turn it down.
All help is mega appreciated.
cheers guys/girls

Dan

you mean a certificate for an electrical installation...together with its schedule of inspections...and its schedule of tests.....then yep....

and whats all this about how `he`?...he has first fixed showers?

so, do you trust him enough to sign his work....?

if it all goes ---- up then it could be your last rolo...

No, just wiring to bathroom. Not shower, i can see all wiring as ceiling is none existent. He has only done the basics and i can see all of it.

So you are going to start off being a cowboy.

Welcome to the world of online forums. People just love to have a dig and show how clever they are and how stupid you are. Surprised nobody has picked up on any spelling mistakes. You wont get any help here. It's all I read in posts here, people slating people not as experienced as them, must give them some sort of self pleasure. Quite frankly ******removed*******, if your ashamed by the fact this gentleman is not too sure on what certs and has the balls to ask in a place to help people then don't reply.

First 7 day ban of the thread given for personal insults even after my warning. I'm not in the mood for handbag swinging so I'll suggest once again the anyone who can't help themselves should just walk away and find another thread to post in.

Correct, so if i can see all wiring downstairs,inspect it, test it, ensure its up to standard, design the upper floor, install it, and test it. There is a problem with this.?????
