NICEIC Certification Scheme comfused by NICEIC statement

[goasis]

the builder was kicked off the job as he left it like this since 14th Aug.

Just a little quote from your post on page 2....
Also thanks for the bad spelling note... I'm coMfused why you gave me it though

I think this thread is going round in circles: OP what response are you expecting from us or what outcome would you like??

 

[hoitytoity]

Is this work subject to building control?
Why is the wall being boarded over?
What was the brief given to the Builder re materials to be used, is this in the form of a written contract?
Which room is this, if it's a kitchen is the board going to be tiled once plastered?

domestic works agreement so builder solution and spec.

Four very good questions. 1 very good answer. How about another 3.

Rosco is right . I'm out.

... Probably what his builder/electrician/tacker thought!!

 

[Toneyz]

but as a NICEIC electrician, he should know better and knowtheplasterboard is incorrect. Very worrying indeed

But the electrician/builder may well be going to fit an extension box on the 2nd fix it is hard to comment on an unfinished job.

 

[hoitytoity]

Not sure you can get lime plasterboard. Sounds like a big breakdown in communication with the builder/ electrician over the final finish of the wall/rendering.

of course you get lime plasterboard

 

[hoitytoity]

Walls get dot and dabbed all the time, plasterboard gets cut badly around back boxes all the time... Not a major concern. We get over it.
So the builders been kicked off and your complaining the job isn't finished?! Agree that if that circuit is energised you have some cause for complaint, other than that, stop snagging unfinished work

it's taped not locked off at fuse box. That's my big issu

to move things on, do you have a new builder and a new electrician now?

 

[Fitzy]

Either use a metal extension box or replace backbox with a plastic plasterboard back box!

Stay strong, you can resist the temptation to switch that MCB on ;-)

If you don't think you can, ask the electrician/builder back to lock it off correctly.

FFS,this post is now getting like a murder on the orient express .

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Havent read the whole thread, cables look 2.5, couldnt care how bad the plasterboarding is nothing to do with the electrics or NIC. I would connect that socket up, test it, certify it and take the bill before i left, you sound a nightmare.

I would

have you got big fingers when you are typing .corrected that for you .

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Phones awful for typing, swapped from IOS to Android, done me no favours

 

[hoitytoity]

Thank you for all your feedback. Now we've established there is a clear problem with the gap around the plaster board and the work is not finished.

I can now take this to my defence solicitor for the electrician's court case against me who is sueing me for the whole contract. Yes you heard that right. The builder/plasterer is sueing me for £5000 for unfinished work. The total job only cost £2000. Goodnight thread over and thankyou

 

[Sintra]

I think you will find that the general consensus is that there isn’t an issue with the gap as you call it.

 

[Strima]

Where's that thread about nightmare customers?

Take a look at my post #71, I have already given you on advice of what to do.
