Hi Guys,
I am currently in the process of buying a house that needs to be rewired. I am a qualified Electrician(NVQ3, HNC, 17th Edition), but from an industrial background, and have never attempted to re-wire a domestic property before!
I have been in contact with my LABC who have said aslong as i have my 17th Edition qualification they are happy for me to carry out the work, with their inspector making a visit before, at first fix and then completion.
They haven't given me much information in regards to what documentation/information they will require at each stage?!
I am also unsure of what the legal outcome is if i am to do my own test and inspection, and the LABC inspector to do the sign off - Who is responsible if there is (God forbid!) a fault that causes damage to the property, as i do not have any sort of insurance that covers me for carrying out this type of work!!
So my question is really - Has anyone attempted to do a rewire whist liasing with LABC and how was the process?
Thanks, Tommy.
