Hello all
This is a first post and a cry for help. Any words of wisdom, even if only to confirm I am a numpty, are appreciated.
I've just had a new bathroom installed including a whirlpool bath.
I've since been advised that I should have received a Part P Electrical Certificate for the installation since it's electrical equipment in a bathroom, and I'll also need this certificate if I'm intending to sell the house (which I am).
To be honest, I'd never heard of it hence never thought to ask for one at the time. Naively, I presumed that the plumbing firm who installed it would issue me with whatever was required. I've called them about it, they have responded to say the electrician is not registered for Part P and therefore cannot certify the installation. Upon further reading it seems another electrician cannot certify an installation for Part P unless they did the installation themselves.
My questions are
1. I'm screwed aren't I?
2. How badly am I screwed?
Answers of "yes" and "very" are expected, but if you've been in the same position and have some advice on how I could overcome this issue your comments would be most welcome
