Issue with hired electrician

[EFLImpudence]

Dont they also have to use NICEIC papers/test sheets?

Don't have to but obviously would because it costs him lots of money.

Perhaps he’s just catching up on the paperwork?

He could say when it is likely to arrive.

 

[Murdochcat]

I always send the invoice with the appropriate certificates

 

[EFLImpudence]

He could say when it is likely to arrive.

...and not expect payment until it has been received.

 

[pete01]

I wouldnt expect to be paid until after a cert has been issued.

 

[morqthana]

It will come eventually

Then I suggest so should his payment.

 

[pete01]

Then I suggest so should his payment.

I agree

I've been to the property today, my builder said electrician spent 3 hours there only replacing CU and didn't go to other rooms. My previous electrician who did the eicr 5 yrs ago tested all sockets and light fittings, I was present and took him 3 hrs. Has eicr testing methods changed?

 

[flameport]

Has eicr testing methods changed?

No. Other than a few minor variations, they are the same today as they have been for decades.

didn't go to other rooms

Nothing was inspected or tested, and the new CU should not have been energised.

I called NICEIC this morning; they said no need for EIC if only CU replaced and there has been no modification or added sockets.
But said building reg compliance notification is required, assume from local council, they said to wait for a month, contact them if any issues.

That’s utter rubbish.

Call them again and ask the question again

 

[Murdochcat]

Dare i ask how much you were quoted for a new cu and EICR?

 

[EFLImpudence]

That’s utter rubbish.

It really is.

You call them.

 

[Murdochcat]

You call them.

I don’t need to. I know what is expected of me

 

[Murdochcat]

You call them.

So how much were you charged for the cu and EICR ?
