Hi, never worked domestic.

We need an inspection / certification on a business with a dwelling above.
Looking on the NICEIC website, they have approved contractors, presumably they are the superhero’s that can carry this out?
 
why do every body bleat on how good the NIC EIC are ,when it when the company is charity ,but some how still making money ,do they give the money away to other charity's, me think not so .
 
There are a number of competent person schemes that can provide this service through their members. They are Stroma, Napit, BSI, Elecsa and are all equivalent to NIC who seem to have the market share of public awareness. But anyone from these schemes who has the C&G 2391 for inspection and testing is perfectly capable of doing an EICR on the property you mention. I mention this just to raise public awareness that there is more schemes apart from the one you mentioned who can offer the same service.
 
Because that’s


The insurance company specifies it.
Thanks, thought as much.
Doesn't the Insurance company realize, that there are other Competent Persons Schemes that offer the same credentials, NAPIT, STROMA etc, as someone else commented, just because the tester is a member of the NICEIC, doesn't make them an Electrical expert, far from it in some cases.

Probably doesn't have a clue, so in my opinion it's far easier for the OP to look up NICEIC registered contractors on their site, have 2 or 3 give a quote and move on.

Now if it was an electrician asking the question after being turned down, then of course arguing the point would be worth while.
 
Well I for one would like to phone them and discuss with them and my scheme why this is allowed it surely breaks monopoly laws, and I do not mean the game monopoly for those in doubt.
