Is there a flat above the shop?

Didnt think Part P applied to commercial. Thought he could just get on with it ??

If it's a commercial or industrial you can do it even if your not part P

council planing route, is it LBC.

Are you still thinking along the lines of Part P?

You only need to notify if the shop shares the same meter with a flat or house.

If it hasn't got a connected flat or house then commercial work doesn't need to be notified.... BUT YOU DO NEED TO BE COMPETENT and you CAN NOT use your purple certs, as the NIC will go up the wall.

i know this may sound stuipd but make sure you wire in emergency lights in the building if its a shop. because its **** when you turn up to another companys job and you have to put surface trunking for em lts when its just been wired

Really??

Never knew it was an issue
Just out of interest what about certs from other schemes or the "official" IEE ones?

Its just the rigmarole you have to go through explaining the technicalities of why the cert isn't red as this is the type they have been told to except, it's just easier being approved.

Tell them your colour blind.. that should do the trick

You can't tell the difference between red / brown & green / yellow
