Certification expected for an installation in a new extension.

davidwalker2

I have an extension nearing completion at my bungalow, the electrical installation is a ring final with 5 double sockets, eight LED downlights and two pendant fittings, all connected into the existing 16th edition CU.  I have not yet received any certification.  What should I expect/ ask for?

    I have been away for a couple of days so slow to reply.  Some points to clarify.

    They are new circuits connected into the existing CU, in England.  He did some "measurements" so I assume they were insulation and Z's, although I was not present.  He is contracted to the builder, so not directly employed by me and the builder will have to get the works signed off by Building Control.

    I have not asked for or been offered anything yet, I just want to be prepared to know what to expect to avoid problems in the future.

    I think I will ask for an installation certificate and take it from there.

    Many thanks for the replies; this is an invaluable resource of expertise.
