Altered Wiring.

Zoomup

The answer to this question should be obvious, but I am looking for the least painful solution.

 

I have undertaken much rewiring at a large house. I have received several stage payments. I am now about to present my final invoice. The client wants “certification”.

The problem is that the electrical installation is not finished. Also the client and his son have added and altered the installation. Some of which I am aware of, but some is hidden.

How would you resolve this situation and keep the client sweet please?

    I agree that you can certify only your own work. Anything else requires an EICR, which will be limited in effect to the altered circuits.

    I don't think that you can do anything about the work that has been planned but not undertaken.

    At my chum's self build, I have been certifying as I go along, even for partially completed circuits. I have also kept notes of all the tests at the various points during construction.

    I have not repeated tests for circuits which have not been altered except that I checked Zs at each final circuit when the origin was moved and the distribution circuit was altered. The top floor ring was a bit of a puzzle until I discovered a missing socket where the ends had just been taped together!
