Hi
to cut a long story short we had an extension a few years ago on our cottage and had a complete rewire done at the same time. The electrician who carried out the work as far as we were aware had given the surveyor the correct paperwork (this surveyor left the council shortly after). we had other things to complete before sign off and these took nearly a year after the electrics were completed. when we contacted the council for final inspection they said the electrics had not been signed off and that we needed to get in contact with the electrician for a valid certificate.
well the electrician seems to have vanished from the face of the earth so i can only assume he went bust. Obviously we have decorated now and new plastering done in each room.
is there anyway we can get this signed off? the council now say if not they will leave it unsigned and we could have problems selling the house in the future.
Any advice appreciated.
