Hi,
We renovated our house a few years ago and it involved getting building regs - we had an RSJ put it. installed a downstairs cloakroom, had the house rewired and other bits.
The building regs said he couldn't sign it off till we got the electrical certificate. It took us a long time to get the form from the electrician and they ended up giving us a 'Domestic electrical installation periodic report'. We went back to building regs and they said it isn't the right form. I don't recall what they said the right form was and to be honest we didn't follow it up. In hindsight it was stupid but at the time the whole renovation and credit crunch had stressed us out that we wanted to be done with it.
Now, I want to get the building regs sorted as we are considering moving. I was wondering if anyone knows what the right form would be for a rewire and can other electrician's issue these even if they did not do the install but after inspecting it?
Cheers
