Hi guys - I'm DISQ qualified and need to NIC register and sort out some assessment sites.
As background, I've done 25 years as a comms tech, wiring, voice systems, cat 5 networks- Got fed up with being other peoples property (been made redundant 3 times in 10 years), so home based works will be my new work!
I had fully intended to use my house as one of the assessment sites, and understand the need to use BControl for full CU change, 2 new rings and update to take in new tail size, earthing of gas water, bathroom bonding update etc as notifiable works.
I have no problem with the £129 charge (as sub £2000 works value), but I didn't appreciate the need to give them working notice .
I did the work over Xmas and it only took 2 days + a day testing, testing, testing and more testing.
Should I wing in and hope that application to building control which means I can 'start' work 3 days after application, means that by the time they agree an appointment I can have already done the 'work'.
I've got loads of minor works jobs due, which I will only take from 1-2-07 after reg via NIC and insurance £2m sorted- but I am struggling to find meaty enough work for the NIC assessment.
IS my white lie too naughty, or am I worrying for nothing
