Need some help here;
Had builders in who as part of the contract were to install certain wiring in the house. All seemed fine 'til we received 'cert' which was in a differnet name to that of the spark who did the work. when we raised it with them it transpired that the spark who did the work isn't approved to self cert but this other fella was happy to provide a certificate. At this point i get nervous! is this a valid cert foe the purposes of meeting Part P requirements? from what i have seen it isn't but what can i do?
The cert appears to have been provided under the guise of 'testing and complaince (not installation, which has been struck through on the cert). A quick call to the regulating body highlighted that the certifying spark hadn't notofied the job to them and so they hadn't sent onward confirmation to LABC (which raises a separate question of how they (LABC) subsequently issued a building compliance certificate having not had proper electrical sign-offs! Any ideas?!).
It all seems a bit of a fudge to me and i'm worried that when i come to sell the house this will bite me on the proverbial or will result in insuranc issues should the worst happen. so far as i can tell the builder should have hired a part p cert spark who should hae notified the job etc or they should have pre-notified the LABC who should have tested it (also, i understand that it is not permissable to have ather spark sign off on someonel elses work).
any advice greatly appreciated!
