Returning to work after years away, some questions

[Octopus]

is it?


as you have just answered `nothing` (see above) to my post then surely that would imply i was telling it real....

or perhaps i sell cars for a living....

what you think?

We ALL know the rules applying to England and Wales.....

So stop being a dxck and accept that Part P is here to stay.

So for people who do domestic, notifiable work on a regular basis, membership of a scheme makes perfect sense. Round my way its £335 per home extension for the "electrical" inspection, so £448.00 plus £1.80 per job is a snip......

Also, Elecsa had plans to introduce the "mandatory" insurance with every notifiable job.

I was asked my opinion about this when I had my assessment and I told my assessor in no uncertain terms that I felt it was like PPI "mis-selling" and thus no such policy can be "mandatory". I stated that I would NOT be telling my clients in any way.

I thought it was due to go live in October '13 but its all gone VERY quiet.

And Electricians performing notifiable work on peoples homes and not telling them about Part P is fraud.

Is it?

It's the householder's responsibility, they should know.
All you could possibly be nailed with, is not informing the customer of their responsibilities.
I don't think that counts as fraud.

I disagree, you are employed for your skill and knowledge.... so not making sure the client is aware of Part P is IMHO dishonest.

Does it matter if it gets notified or not, I have yet to hear of one person being prosecuted for not notifying, either spark or homeowner.

which again makes me ask what you think being a scam member has to do with making a client aware/enlightened....whatever....

Well..... round my way all the Solicitors are very hot on looking for recent work which involved planning permission and/or building control then asking for all the paperwork, Part P included - and I get work to do EICR's so every cloud has a silver, if not gold lining

And when you do...
"Not interested, get on with it"
I know my work is near 100% good enough, if they don't care, neither do I.
I and my (very occasional domestic) customer aren't paying The Council or some scheme a load of cash for, for what is basically, SOD ALL!

The decent ones do it by the book - that's my answer and I'm guessing you go round on a horse.
