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?

 

Z.

    No Chris I did not certify anything as I proceeded. I did though test and take notes of the  results. The installation  requirements were constantly changing so weren't written in stone. I was going to do all of the paperwork at the end. If I installed a sub-main and new consumer unit at the end, plus final circuits, they may have been altered beyond recognition. So I am thinking that a complete I&T with E.I.C.R. is required now. A.N. Other is an electrician, the son of the boss. Shouldn't he verify his own work as complying and certify it?

    Good question!

    I agree, I&T with EICR, but will they pay for it? I suspect that you are between a rock and a hard place.

    There is no doubt in my mind that your moral (ethical) compass points in the right direction. Good luck!
