I had a building firm in at the start of the year doing a fair bit of work to the house.
A consumer unit was replaced.
I made it absolutely clear (on multiple occasions) to the firm that I wanted certification for the electrical work and they assured me it wouldn't be a problem.
Needless to say they completed the work and went on their way. I chased them up for the certification for a couple of months and eventually someone came around, poked around the fuse box and a few sockets and I was told the certificate would be in the post. I got said certificate a few weeks later (after more chasing) only to find that it's a Periodic Inspection Report.
My understanding of this is that a PIR is not what is required for a consumer unit replacement and that I need an Electrical Installation Certificate. Is that correct?
Can anyone advise of my options now, other than reporting said builder to trading standards..?
