As things stand, when a City and Guilds qualified builder with over 40 years experience undertakes even minor building jobs like forming a door/window opening or installing a new drain run, [ neither which tend to be life threatening] he still needs to notify and pay a fee to LABC, who then visit the site to check and test workmanship. In contrast the 2 trades in the construction industry [ electric and gas] most likely to cause serious injury or worse receive no third party on site checks/tests at all You really couldn't make it up.
Nothing would serve to improve workmanship more than the thought of an independent third party who knows what to look for, calling round to check/test all new installations. It should cost no more than a landlords
test and compared to some of the prices quoted on this forum to do a power flush would surely be value for money.
