The sole reason I’m not registered with any scheme, it’s just a money making scheme imposed on us by others.
how does that work Will with work with you and signing it off.
Simple, don’t do domestic work, twice the money and half the hassle.
I know one contractor after going through revisit inspections was removed from the NICEIC roll and joined NAPIT straight after.
Someone tuched a nerve Vorty?This is all much ado about nothing. You get good and bad in every area/trade/position universally. If the government want to make a big deal about us electricians let us form a CPS for entering governance and let us see how many of the 650 members meet muster for morals (none?) skill(none) honesty(expenses scandal) and so on. I think I could winnow them down to a handful in a few weeks. And they dare to sit as our judge and master? Foscar Oxtrot!
Still doesn't resolve the fact, that even in commercial & industrial fields, there are contractors who don't come up to a sufficient standard.
Some of their clients have a clerk of works ( or whatever the title is these days), that carry out inspections of verification of installations. But many don't.
The question I was answering wasn’t about solving anything, the question was regarding how do you work without being registered with a scheme.
The simple answer is that you can work in the non-domestic sector without scheme membership, and make more money doing so.
Putting up a few lights for Mrs Miggins, ain't gonna make you much money. The trap is (being in the domestic market), you've got to be in a scheme (England & Wales) to make it financially viable.
All these schemes have done is take the pressure off LBC who would not have been able to cope when Part P came into effect. They have pulled in electricians who work in the new and existing domestic housing markets and for some good those like kitchen fitters etc.I could be incorrect but wasn't the initial thinking to have one scheme which the public could identify with like CORGI, now GasSafe. How on earth can electrical safety be correctly monitored with all these different schemes sniping at each other in an attempt to put THEIR head above the parapet.
Not sure what your point is Ant.All these schemes have done is take the pressure off LBC who would not have been able to cope when Part P came into effect. They have pulled in electricians who work in the new and existing domestic housing markets and for some good those like kitchen fitters etc.

my point is these schemes have come into being to admin for building control.Not sure what your point is Ant.
So what about us electricians that work in the commercial sector who want to something in their own home.Which is why I said you can work in the NON DOMESTIC sector without being registered with a scheme and earn more money doing so.
