If your sure hes not registered with a Part P provider and has done a re-wire which requires notifying under Part P then surely building control must have an interest. He's broken the law whether he fixes it or not!

I'd be speaking again to building control .....
get real!!

the only thing they`l be interested in is why they havn`t been paid!!

lol...lol..
 
for christs sake not this again mate...

ITS THE DUTY OF THE HOMEOWNER/PERSON ORDERING THE WORK TO NOTIFY LABC OF ANY WORKS CARRIED OUT THAT ARE NOTIFYABLE!!!


end of.
And I REPEAT. Its the duty of competent people to inform the public of the requirement. Ignorance is no defence.

END OF.
 
Update:
Just had an email from client saying she's not going to do anything about it. The cowboy turns out to be a friend's son and she doesn't want the hassle with her friend.
She's been told the intallation is dangerous, yet still isn't bothered because (wait for it).....
"..it's only a rental property!"

Fantastic - lets hope nothing goes wrong as the bills could get rather high letting a sub-standard property to a tenant!
