Certification. How long?

[mongy1]

Hi.
Had notifiable work done by NICEIC registered electrician. How long should it take for paperwork to arrive?
Thanks in advance.

The electrician could write it out there and then or (as I do) go home and do you a nice printed one; in which case it could be a couple of days plus postage, if far away. He should have told you, though.

Then there is the notice from NICEIC which, I think, will be about four weeks.

Depends on how well office-disciplined the sparky is. I've had some within the same week, on others I've had to chase and it took up about six months.

My current one does his certs once a week or so, depending on load.

I seem to remember that the Part P paperwork has to be issued with 14 days of completion.

Where this regulation applies, the person carrying out the work shall, not more than 30 days after the completion of the work....

The NICEIC have a 28 calender day limit from completion of the work, plus you could be looking at another wedge of time on top of that depending on the speed of your local authority.

Had one job I notified (on the day of completion) yet it took 6 weeks to get the final cert. The LABC had the NICEIC notification within a week, but didn't issue their cert for another 5 weeks.

I issue mine after the money is in my account and notify at the same time.

The Part P bit from NICEIC seem to take 3-4 weeks
