Notifiable works.

Statistically theres more chance of me being bitten by luis suarez then there is me joining a scheme!!

My idea is to play the schemes at their own game, we'd appoint one person to act as "national QS" if you like. They'd notify each job through their registration, this would A keep everyone (sort of) legal and B protect the homeowner.
Yes Stroma still exists, they're no better or worse than the others

Your still feeding a leech doing that thought Trev.

Also who would want the responsibility of several hundred sparks work on their head? Especially after the recent case of that EICR that was done, where later sadly a young mother lost her life due to a screw I'm a cable that wasn't noticed? I know that's not a installation issue but the same thing could still happen?

Ok, that sounds like a good plan, almost creating a scheme within a scheme.

Is it possible to form a new company specifically to hold the registration? Then we could all have access to the one registration process or else someone will end up sitting at a PC registering jobs 24hrs a day.

Starting out own scheme would certainly be a option, but I imagine it would need some serious financial backing, I know think someone who is else where on the WWW said a whole ago they looked into it. Could be worth contacting them to see what they managed to find out.

To start a new scheme I think it would need the consent of the DCLG - and I think the current "crop" of businesses all had to apply in the same way

Yeah the leech is still being fed but it's being fed a lot less than it is now mate. I thought about the Emma Shaw case and that's the drawback, one which I can't at present think of a way round.

I looked into it a while back, the process is quite complicated and as has been said, needs the permission of DCLG and they only open up for new applicant scheme operators once in a blue moon

If you gather the evidence along with enough electricians backing your safety concerns for work covered by existing organisations, as well as a plan for a new organisation, would they allow an application then do you think?
