electrical compliance

[rexters]

in 2006 i did alot of rewiring in my kitchen, there is nothing wrong with it and all is safely done.
but!
i am now selling my house and the conveyancor wants to know if any electrical work was done post jan 2005, bearing in mind the wiring is behind tiling etc can a certificate be issued or is it a case of saying i did the wiring in 2004 when the new colour wire appeared.

So we must assume you have wired it in the NEW colours.
I would tell a porkie.

 

[rexters]

yes unfortunatly it is the new wiring colour

there is nothing wrong with it and all is safely done

So you have an EIC with all the schedule of tests completed.

You have complied with BS7671 throughout and you have notified Local Authority Building control in w.r.t. Part P of the building Regulations.

So you have nothing to worry about - unless...........................

what i need to know is if i can get a certificate.

[rexters]

dont see why i am being a tosser, i only asked a question

Part P doesn't apply in Scotland

 

[Spark123]

No part Pee in Scotland, although as has been pointed out, although you think you have done it correctly and safely the adopted scheme which electricians abide by (IEE regs) calls for all work to be tested and certified to say it has been done correctly. As the work has already been done and if you own up to it, you may need to have a periodic inspection report done to prove it is up to scratch with respect iee regs.

 

[rexters]

thanks spark,
what is involved in doing the periodic inspection report and would it provide the required certificate to keep a conveyancer happy .
i am in england

A periodic report will show your dwelling`s whole installation is up to standards set out by BS7671....if it isnt then the inspector/tester `should` pick up on what is needed to bring your installation up to compliance.
