wow.

thats 150 less than I pay now. (its £245 btw). I am a mercinary I don't care what it says on the tin they're all the same.

Emailed to ask if price includes VAT.

Thanks for the heads up zsoltimatrix
 
For cheapness and a slightly better recognition there is the Corgi one for £330 + vat.

Problem is every one will think they have called a clean and sophisticated plumber!!
 
I sure Corgi is £250 and quid fifty each notifycation, My plumber/sparky mate is going with them..
They soon charge the same as the rest when they ve got enough bods on board..

Are the notification costs on a par with Elecsa, Napit & NICEIC??

When things are offered cheaper, I always wonder which corners are being cut!
 
Said mate spoke to a ladie who said £250 full..
But she also gave out some fairly misleading info.. IE i dont think she had a clue!!! They ll notify or email the person direct!

For some NICEIC is the only one they've heard of, Elecsa and Napit have been around for years yet they "struggle" to be recognised by many, god only knows how difficult it would be to get another recognised widely.

Me thinks Elecsa will retain my business!
 
Never been a problem not being NIC. Depends what line of work you're in.

If you need to notify then go for the cheapest, If you are trying to win big contracts with councils etc NICEIC might help but like I say never ever been asked "who are you registered with". Got asked a few times "are you registered" :)
 
First read this thread a week ago. Being interested in going self employed I sent them an email asking a few questions about what they would want to see, what would be the lead time for them sending an assessor etc, to date no response not even an acknowledgement.
Has anyone heard anything from them, if so I'd be grateful for some info
 
WTF ANOTHER competant persons scheme FFS ELECTRICSAFE should be the ONE and more importantly ONLY scheme run Not more and more each additional scheme provides not only more hassel for consumers but LESS regulation as they MAY not have as stringent checks and requirements as NICEIC ELESCA NAPIT and may "water things down"

Maybe Dan should set up a Part P "company" - managed and run by us trusty sparkies, for the benefit of the sparky and its primary focus is educating the Public!!!!

Maybe we should form a pressure group to get building trades recognised as professions. In the same way as no one can call themselves solicitors, doctors, accountants etc no one should be able to set up in building trades without a certain minimun level of qualifications. One governing body for each trade.
With a bit of thought by the trades themselves I'm sure it's workable

What a novel idea ..... of course there wouldn't be a mountain of money to make out of us that way though!
 
No Sparty BUT the consumers would have ONE list to check ONE website to visit ONE line of complaint On contractors side I see ONE as the way to go as with all these differnt schemes popping up you get consumers saying "iv never heard of NAPIT" ect NICEIC should do what they were started for and REGULATE the electrical work being done instead of just making money and letting every man and his donkey with a 4 week course go and practice their DIY skills on other peoples premisis
The government had CORGI now GASSAFE n people recognise it people and it has clout NICEIC Ect ect ect ect have no clout except for using their name without their permision ( paying them monies) its just developing into one giant cockup

totally agree.

Maybe its coming?


"ELECTRIC SAFE" - £92 A YEAR :))
 
A reply to the enquiry would help.
"The man who deals with it is not in the office today", eh??
They subcontract the CPS out to a company called Greenstar.
Greenstar are a training company.
Need I go on??
 
Most customers dont care who you are registered with they just want the best possible price and to know its legal. Its only on commercial work where NIC is often specified or on some builders specifications but mostly it is not a problem so if your work does not call for the ego of NIC high prices go for the most economical available. Lets face it when people have technical problems or queries they come on this site for the answer first before contacting their Part P partner. lol
 
Another email from them, nothing for weeks then 2 in one day....apparently they have had technical issues but will be up and running again by the end of next week.
Looks like Elecsa are getting my money, bit more expensive but at least they have a structure and a reputation amongst the industry
 
I was with Corgi for gas and elec, the elec part p scheme. I was inspected once in 5 years !

Looking to join Elecsa after completing my 17th edition course.
 
It now appears that my name has made it onto Stroma's mailing list (yipee more junk in my inbox)
I got an email from them this afternoon advising that owing to the volume of applicants to their CPS and MCS they are restricting membership till 1st quarter 2012 to only those who want to join both schemes.
As previously stated, what a bunch of jokers
 
I've been looking at Stroma for a while. I have rang them and they quickly sent out an online package to join them. They cost £245 (plus vat), so about £300. certs cost £1.50 if done by computer, £2.50 by post. I think it is then £300 p/year (inc VAT)

They offer a free technical support line as do the others, but as said before this site works well as that.

I am very new to electrics, but will join with Stroma as they are the cheapest and will make me legal. None of my friends/family have heard of Nic and the only thing a customer seems concerned with is if you are legal and insured.

Hope this helps a little even though I realise the thread is a little old!
 
You have to ask if Stroma can get away with "only" charging £245 + VAT, why are the others so much more??

Scheme membership could even get cheaper!
 
Hello
Could I please have a list of all companies that do part p, also i have noticed that
ELECSA state 2391, I have all my qualifications and 17th edition but not 2391.
Working for a company now after being hit hard in the recession but now feel its time to go it alone again.

Any advice would be nice.

Thanks

Alex
