No, they wouldn't put their name and reputation onto a dodgy report.
Thanks. Puts my mind at ease. Cheers

but doesn't exclude the fact that they could make a mistake though.No, they wouldn't put their name and reputation onto a dodgy report.
windows would come under the BC app for the loft and wouldn't need a separate addition, nor FENSA certificationA builder wouldn't normally be fensa registered, so unless they are, then they can't sign off the windows. But they may have added it in as part of the building control application, in which case the BCO will have a little gizmo that can check if the glass is the right type, so talk to the BCO about that.
The electrcian would have been employed and paid by the builder, so it would be reasonable for him to to give them the electrical certificate, but he should be able to provide you with a copy as a matter of courtesy. If he won't, then see if you can quietly check to make sure he's a registered electrician. If he's not, then you'd need to get a proper electrician in to do a test report for you.
If building control are now happy with the work, then once they get the relevant certificates, they should supply you with a completion certificate.
Out of interest, did your builder make structural alterations to your loft without first getting an engineers report?
Correct. Even though we told them the work was structural and gave them the work specifically because they assured us a SE would be involved.
Honestly this has been a rubbish experience and puts me off another extension we had been considering. The timberwork skirting and arcitrave etc are fairly poor standard. I would get them back but every time they come back to do something they are so cack-handed they cause another issue.
not if they know what they are doingIf it involved cutting in dormers that sounds really reckless.
