Builder let customer down and no electrical certs or compliance certs

[Dave301]

I've been to a job tonight and cut a long story short he's been left without certificates for a new bathroom and CU change. But the company overseeing the inspection from a building regs side won't issue a completion cert without electrical certs and compliance certs.
He's asked me if can issue them.
I have told him to chase the rogues that owe him the certs and also take it up with the building inspectors company. But other than completing an EICR to deem it safe, would anyone on here notify and certify work done 3 years ago by some one else? Even if its as it should be upon 'CLOSE' inspection and testing.

The ONLY person who can you the answer is the BCO ................ If the client wants a completion certificate then the BCO has the "power" to decide what he will accept...

Ok so if the client explained to the BCO the situation and ask if an EICR would suffice..... perhaps

you'd have to ask BC. if they will accept an EICR, then you're good to go.

Never pay until full completion as you always keep 5% of the build cost back until the job has been completed and the snagging done, trouble is for small jobs no one draws up a contract that is binding in law.

The building control should get a backbone and speak to the builder/electrician who done the work and prosecute if necessary. The rest of us at paying out for the schemes and complying
