Not a comment against op.....it's the cowboy that's doing the signing off......and had to be said

I have to agree with @Taylortwocities here. The OP may well have the experience and knowledge to carry out a rewire (or may not) but we still have to either notify the work ourselves by belonging to a scheme or go through BC. If we don't do this then problems occur when buying or selling as in this case and that is not fair on the customer.

Your 'mate' will not have been there at the beginning and throughout to make sure it all meets the wiring regs so basically he'll be lying when he notifies your work which I guess neither of you are concerned about otherwise you wouldn't be planning it.

As the others have said, you could fill out an EIC as you don't need to be registered to do this. You should know this if you have undertaken a rewire.
It's ok to ask questions like this, I certainly did at the beginning of my career, but not after carrying out a rewire.

I realise this post is a little confrontational which is unlike me but it does get me a tad peed off.

Spot on there Hippy.

Sounds like the op has at least some qualification, he has access to calibrated test gear, and wants to do the right thing.
I’m more concerned that the sheds can still supply consumers units etc to the public without question.

Have spoken to NICEIC and am getting them to come out in 3 weeks time and do an assessment on a couple of the circuits and can then be put into their CPS.
Thanks for all the useful replies always useful to learn from others experience and knowledge
