how do these cowboys get away with it

[tidyboiler]

In a previous life I was on a contract with British Gas which covered all aspects of Gas, Electric, Water, Drains, all white goods etc at a cost of over £55 per month. I suppose we had our money's worth out of them over the years but I started to question the knowledge of a few of their engineers. We developed a fault on our heating system and it took 15 :whatchutalkingabout visits from them to find the fault. Geordie knew straight away what the problem was when I explained it to him, and that was over the phone without him seeing it!

Hello
When to price job today bathroom lighting and fan looked at job no problem. Asked customer where cu was in brand new kitchen i asked who done electrics got told kitchen fitter arranged electrician. Looked at cu 16th board looked again the busbar hadnt been cut !!! so it was attached to main isolator and rcd. Explained to customer the problem and tested rcd to show her it would not operate due to how the busbar had been fitted and the dangers due to this she said electrician doing kitchen never said anything . Asked if he had left any paperwork or certs and if any testing had been done oh what a suprise nothing. The new cables in cu so called electrician had put in were that long you could have put a exra rfc and no bonding to water in kitchen. Explained part p to her and what sould have been done telling her hope the work he has done is ok as it may involve dismantaling her lovely new kitchen .Advised her to get kithen fitter back and ask him why no testing was done and no certs issued and if electrician was qualified and registered to do this work.

whats `part p` got to do with it?....some of the worst crap you could witness has been done by `part p qualified` `electricians`....or the part p course brigade....

There needs to be tv/radio adverts like they do for Corgi (gas) to make sure customers ask for a Part P certified spark. Ohhhh the dangers are equal to (if not worse) than gas

I am a plumber and to be honest you sparky's need 1 governing body instead of the several different ones, it is so hard to look up each electrician, then you could all be governed and promoted by that company

We have been saying the very same thing for a long time...."Electric safe", says it all.
