It doesn't matter how much he did like that - if at the end of the day he signed a piece of paper to say that he had done the installation work, and that it complied with the Building Regulations he lied.Well, in my case, he took off every socket, fitting, accessory, switch, etc. and re-fitted them or least checked them. He found and followed every cable run he could, checked the condition and position, either be sight/feel (in the loft), using cable finders (behind plasterboard) and looking at all the many photos I took of the build in progress which I took for future reference, especially the loads I took of the cabling. He checked/re-did all connections in the consumer unit, did all the tests from different locations using the meters/testers (I am no expert here, you'll know about these, I don't), did as much as was possible. He finished anything that needed doing (brown sheathing to signify live on a light switch, sticker on the consumer unit to signify differing wiring colours new & old), he was there nearly all day, worked non stop. Changed some things (added an MCB for the existing alarm to be on it's own, changed labels for the MCB's to show what each one does. He wanted to know everything and left no stone unturned. And at the end he was happy to certify.
That an LABC should connive with a lie like that is shameful.My LABC were happy with this, I worked very closely with them throughout the build. They preferred this to a periodic.
And possibly elevates the offence to one of conspiracy.
Those are all situations where a 3rd party needs to inspect and test the work, but an LABC should not expect that person to falsify documentation at the end of it.My LABC told me this kind of situation happens now and again.
An electrican might disappear.
He might leave the country.
Become ill.
He might not be certified, yet says he was.
The OP might be mis-lead.
The electrican could die.
All of these situations would mean another to Part P.
They should have procedures in place to arrange for a level of inspection and testing for compliance with the Wiring Regulations with which they are happy, but they should not be asking people to break the law.
No disrespect intended, but in my opinion it's possible that you are assuming things again, as you did at the start of this thread.
As far as I am aware, the electrican did not lie or break any laws, and my LABC did not lie, break any laws or enter into any conspiracies. They are strong accusations, that would really need my electrician and LABC to respond to.
