Self employed Electrician set up query

Former Community Member

Hi


I'v just started my new business (as some of you may know from my previous posts) and I have a couple more queries I was hoping I could get assistance with..


1. If some1 has already laid the cables and I'm just connecting up the sockets - Can this be classed as non notifiable? Would I be OK doing a minor works certificate for it?


2. I had plans of joining the NICEIC but was just wondering if there is a quicker route with another scheme to gain competent person status in order to not have to deal with Local authority fees - (I'm dreading the day im going to have to turn down a new circuit install because LA will be charging me £300+ to inspect)

    Regardless of the division of labour, if it's a new circuit or a modification in a bathroom etc, then in theory its notifiable; if not, then its not.




    Cheers mate - that makes sense. Can only hope the works have already been registered - otherwise from what I understand, i would need to charge for labc inspection.. Which he won't want to pay for im sure..
