Hi,
I pretty sure this question has been asked a lot but I can’t find a definite answer so ....
Q1. If I was to start up as a self employed electrician who mainly does property maintenance for a letting agency would I need to be registered with one of the schemes? Most of the work is very small eg changing a faulty pendant, light switch etc 99% of the work is changing items like for like
Q2. I know that certain work is notifiable so I wouldn’t be able to complete that unless I was part of a scheme, contacted BC or was part P? Is that correct?
Q3. If an electrician changed a fuse board for example and didn’t notify BC or register the work through a scheme? What is the outcome because it’s seems to be ‘ok’ years later if a EICR is carried out? If that is the case, what is the point in notifying anyone that the work has been done?
I am a qualified electrician with NVQ 3, 2394, 2395 and 17th edition (will be doing 18th)
The small jobs are a side line from my full time employment so I’m trying to see if it’s worth paying one of the schemes or if it’s possible doing the work without registering with them and just getting myself insurance.
Thanks in advance
