Update. They have run out of money, well selectively run out of money. No money for trades but plenty for the finishing touches!

instead of paying me they want to use the money to pay somebody else to complete the job

Surely you mean they can't pay you, so they get someone else to finish the job and then not pay them.

All down to the small claims court then in the New Year!!

I hope this 3rd party electrician knows what he's doing, if he does complete final certificates for the whole installation including those not conducted by himself!! If that happens, i'd go after him as well with the LABC and his scheme provider!!

Do you want the man in my avatar to call round. Here he is in action.

Don't worry about it you'll get him one way or another and happy christmas.

I think I know who the other sucker is..... so maybe a search on the Elecsa site will locate his number!

Murdoch, I've had a similar situation last year regarding 3rd party electrical sign-off of a new property extension which had been completed without any certificates.
The Owner had come to sell property and new buyers solicitor had picked up that there was no LABC signoff? I flatly refused to sign-off anybody else's work, so the only way it could get it sorted, was by me discussing this personally with the LABC planning officer who agreed in writing that an EICR from me would be sufficient in lieu of the normal sign -off certificate.
This was not a simple process and if Elecsa find the third party Spark has given a full installation sign off for another person's work, then they will be unhappy - and having conversations (thats what they told me anyway! ).
Hope this feedback is useful.

I stated the Part Provider in my earlier above post in sort of a tongue in cheek remark, they may well be unhappy but they'll do absolutely Nothing about it!! It's even questionable if the LABC will do anything either. Where it will mean something, is if it's brought to the notice of the court hearing.
