Electrics in a new build house

Hi all


I've had an anonymous question for the forum which I hope you can help with. 


Can an electrician sign off another electrician's installation in a new build house after it's been covered up i.e. plastered over etc?

  • I would imagine that the contractor is part of a scheme.

    If so the scheme would have rules regarding with-holding paperwork, so it may be best to talk to them first.

    Getting others to sign off work could be a bit of a nightmare.


    Also, another thought.

    The new build would be subject to building regs.

    In that case, the local authority would be able to incorporate the electrical work in that, and may accept an EICR from another contractor as showing compliance. Especially in the circumstances.

    That would be the best way to go
