Last Summer we had our consumer unit changed during some other refurbishment works. The electrician did all the work, then told us that he couldn't issue a certificate for it because there was no Earth connection for the house. It took us a few months, but we finally managed to get UK Power Networks to replace the 1930s main fuse with an earthed one. However in doing so we also discovered that the electrician had made some serious errors (he had swapped the input and output connections on our meter which broke the meter - this has now also been replaced). Because of this and a few other problems we'd found with his work, we did not want him to return and looked for another electrician to certify the installation.
He tested out whole system then issued a "Domestic Electrical Installation Condition Report" which gave our system an 'unsatisfactory' rating due to various faults he found.
He has now sent us a quote for remedial work and said that once he has carried out that work he will issue an 'NIC Certificate of Works' to cover the remedial work.
My question: Are these two certificates (The 'unsatisfactory' condition report plus the certificate of works for the remedial work) enough to satisfy any relevant regulations? This is our private home and we are not renting it out.
