Not currently part of any scheme. Any notifiable work i carry out i go through LABC they have me on their register as a competant person.
I have to fill in a Building Notification Form along with a cheque for £80 prior to any work starting. That price is the same regardless of work, so its £80 to notify a rewire and £80 to notify installing downlights in a bathroom.That's interesting. No scheme fees. How does it function? Heard of a few of doing this?
Surely you'd be better biting the bullet and joining a scheme? It would cover those costs in what, 4-5 jobs?I have to fill in a Building Notification Form along with a cheque for £80 prior to any work starting.

I could save you £80 per install if you like? I don’t pay a penny and never have any further problems.I have to fill in a Building Notification Form along with a cheque for £80 prior to any work starting.

Yeah but ive only been self employed for 12 months and for the majority of that ive worked as a subbie. Most of my work is small domestic at the minute and the vast majority of that hasnt been notifiable. Joining a scheme will be somthing i’ll be looking into very soon.Surely you'd be better biting the bullet and joining a scheme? It would cover those costs in what, 4-5 jobs?
hows that?I could save you £80 per install if you like? I don’t pay a penny and never have any further problems.
I dont incurr the cost though. I have to include it into my price and am 100% upfront about this with my customers. Of course the more work i do it would be better to be involved with a scheme.So 4 x £80 = £320, 10 x £80 = £800
Stroma costs £288 per year with only a website to deal with
Hum .............. let me think about that
Don’t join one, and still carry out the work. Look and see if you can find a prosecution for failure to comply with Part P. Then look and see how many you can find who have falsely claimed to be a member of a scam and been prosecuted for it.hows that?

Again find me proof that a insurance company hasn’t paid out? Since the introduction of Part P there will of been millions of installations, your telling me not one of the has had any problems with them? I’m pretty sure the trade magazines would carry a story if it happened.There's a problem here I think. Part P is statuary, and if you fail to comply you commit a criminal offences (i.e. heard at a magistrates court), not withstanding the lack of prosecutions. Then there's the insurance liability if things go Pete Tong, i.e. your insurance company not paying out.
Is that what you are suggesting?

I wouldn’t mind if they actually did anything for the money they get paid but they don’t. It’s a TAX on the trade for no reason at all. Unlike gas safe who activly prosecute people not registered and with a actual proper assessment to go through to be registered.Insurance companies will use any excuse not to pay out, its in their nature. You'll probably okay, sound electrician, but if it did gone wrong for you, you'll find out how unforgiving they can be.
Then there's the bit of failing to comply with Building Regulations, unlimited fine etc. If that's the way you wish to conduct your business, for the sake of a few hundred pounds however galling it may be, that's down to you. But you should not be suggesting to others to do so.
