Hi,
I do electrical work on my own properties rather than as a full time paid job, so my needs of signing off works and certifying are very low and infrequent. I was with NICEIC last year and don't even think I signed off a single job that year!
I've seen this discussed in many posts but times keep changing and companies get taken over, so for example NICEIC and NAPIT appear to share the same address and I think they must have merged, and Stroma seem to have gone away from the schemes. I think there used to be a "Just-7" type scheme from Napit several years ago where my low level of work would be covered. Who else is there?
The qualifications I have are basic (2382 17th & 18th, and 2395) and the demands of qualifications now seems a lot higher from NICEIC as an example. I'll probably get shot down by fully qualified fulltime electricians if I'm expecting to just sneak in with the basics, but I wondered if anyone had advice or was in a similar position as to what company would be best nowadays for limited work (i.e. self build people etc)???
p.s. Buildings Regs say it could be done through them but wouldn't be a full EIC as the inspector won't be able to see in full all the cabling installation/routes, and also it would be carried out by a 3rd party electrician anyway.
Thanks
Dave
