Hi
I've got a few electrical jobs around the house I need completing, I'm getting a little confused with all the info out there and lack of it since regulations changed in 2013/14, just for the record I don't plan on doing this work myself. Electrical work to be done as follows: extra power socket, moving light switch, terminating/removing power socket and installation of down lights. All these jobs are in the kitchen and from what I understand this work is non-notifiable. If this work is carried out by a "competent" electrician who has the relevant qualifications e.g city and guilds 2392, 2382, 2397 etc can they issue a minor works certificate? Or do they need to be in a scheme such as napat/niceie to issue such a certificate, in other words can any qualified electrician issue a MWC. If this work is all non-notifiable then surly the certificate is just to say that the alterations have been done by a competent person to the correct standard and has been tested to ensure it is safe, and the MWC is solely for my record if ever I sell the house or for insurance purposes should an electrical fault cause damage and has no other relevance, if the work is notifiable I can understand that only electricians in schemes can self certify as they have to notify building control, am I correct?
