My father in law has just had MFI kitchen fitters round. They are fitting his kitchen in 2 weeks and offered to do the electrics as well. He was a little concerned having heard about Part P and asked my advice.
I phoned the kitchen fitter to find not only is he not registered he hass no electrical qualifications whatsoever
His intentions were to put junction boxes in behind the units and spur off a spur off a spur and so on. When i asked him about part p he said it was all "to much" for him so he simply wasn't "bothering" with it. I asked if he realised he could be voiding the home insurance in the event of a fire and he said he hadn't thought about that.
Needless to say i am now doing the electrical alteration before they fit the kitchen.
Surely MFI have a responsibility to know whether or not thier sub-contractors are electrically competent or warn them not to touch the electrics???
