Another Nagy production covers controversy subject

[Risteard]

I should point out that an installation which has been de-energised but has been previously energised (due to someone selling the house; bank taking ownership etc.) only requires a Test Only Completion Certificate to be submitted and does not require a Change of Contractor procedure. The CC procedure only applies where Controlled/Restricted Works have taken place but haven't been certified (e.g. due to Contractor going bust or sleeping with the fishes etc.).

You would think that between EAWR and HASAWA you have concrete defence for finishing off third party works - The minute you set into the property it is your workplace and as such you are taking measures to ensure yours and others safety - The fact that NICEIC don't like it is tough ----, you're got legal grounds to take such action and I'd love to see a scheme in court for kicking someone put for doing thier job.

Do any of the scheme providers care about any of the rules?
They always seem to me to be pretty much only interested in money.

Ironically there are customer disputes where contractors are sacked or leave a job which NICEIC undertake, under their own guarantee scheme, to finish the job for the client. So whither third party now NICEIC? One law for NIC and another for it's minions methinks.

Interesting thread, just goes to show from everyones differing opinions on how/ what Domestic/ commercial sparks are doing/ permitted.
Surely it shouldn't be this complicated.......
