Seriously you are much better to contact your own local LABC directly as they all do work slightly differently for different areas regarding pricing and the system they use.

One thing is for sure is that the LABC will not issue you an Electrical Installation Certificate if the passing off is done through them alone.

Even if an electrician from an approved scheme were to see the work at first fix and second fix and then inspect and test, they would only be able to sign for the inspection & test part of the certification.

Therefore the designer and installer of the installation would have to sign the other two signatures for the completion of the cert.

If the work was carried out by an electrician from an approved scheme that could sign all signatures as a designer, installer and inspector and tester, then a cert could be issued no problem and the LABC being dealt with by them.

here's how it works at my LABC

1. Submit building notice for work.....at a cost of £120 !!!
2. Notify them 48hrs in advance when you are starting
3. You start..inspector tuns up ..have a chat about job with regards circuits,cable routing,cu etc etc
4. You finish, do testing, fill out eic
5. Leave customer eic and send LABC a copy
6. LABC check results on eic. take a few readings to check against eic
7. If all is rosie then they issue a certificate stating that the installation complies with part p of the building regulations.

simple eh ???

by the way my LABC insist that you have recognised qualifications (as you have )

hope this helps
