It's easier/cheaper for someone on a scheme to notify any notifiable work. Doesn't mean those not on a scheme can't do it though, there are other ways, plus not all domestic work is notifiable.Thought you had to be Part P registered or NICEIC approved contractor etc.?
So basically, anyone can do electrical work and we just need to hope that those doing it know what they're doing and that's the best we can hope for?It's easier/cheaper for someone on a scheme to notify any notifiable work.

Exactly.So basically, anyone can do electrical work and we just need to hope that those doing it know what they're doing and that's the best we can hope for?
Blimey!...that's an hour's work charge for some.......or £20 short of a call out charge.There will be a few people on facebook etc who buy a nice card printer and sell perfect copies of these Gold cards for £80 .
Except ethics.....but that thought went down the pan for many, ages back.Currently, there's nothing to stop anybody from doing any domestic electrical work.
I would guess people who feel confident and competent to do the work wouldn't have a problem with ethics since they probably don't think they're doing anything wrong.Except ethics.....but that thought went down the pan for many, ages back.
A better way of putting it,I would guess people who feel confident and competent to do the work wouldn't have a problem with ethics since they probably don't think they're doing anything wrong.
That said i find people to be much more ---- online about all the stuff we talk about on here compared with real life where most people really don't care.
Depends how you define ethical though.A better way of putting it,
If they get what they pay for, OK....if they don't, they've no idea anyway, so who gives a t0$$.
Some of us are still ethical, by the way.
Plenty in a position to be ARE NOT.
My point's made.Depends how you define ethical though.
I wouldn't say carrying out a CU change for example with zero qualifications is 'unethical' if you know you can do the job safely. Some would.
Doing the same job as someone who has paperwork, just without paperwork, isn't unethical. Real ethics have little to do with arbitrary regulations made up by men. I don't consider people like Edison or Franklin to be charlatans because they lacked formal education. I wouldn't consider it unethical for Franklin to teach electrical engineering to somebody because he didn't have the formal education of others. If you do, crack on mate.tMy point's made.
Keep picking, if you you've got an itch, essex.
There's no such thing as 'part p qualified' as far as i know.Those carrying out work in their own properties are entitled to do so....
Those going round telling folk they're competent at this, that and't other....but then not carrying out works to the required standards whilst charging for it need exposing and dealing with...
Part P is a building reg....scheme membership is an ACCREDITATION....not a qualification....
So, anyone going round claiming they're "Part P qualified" needs treating with suspicion...
This does not necessarily include Kev kitchen, Barry bathroom fitter, Bobby builder and Fred the floor layer etc etc...
But you hear of people going round claiming they're "part P qualified".....I've heard it several times from customers...There's no such thing as 'part p qualified' as far as i know.
Part P is just a building regulation.But you hear of people going round claiming they're "part P qualified".....I've heard it several times from customers...
"Oh, he said he was part P qualified"
?
This sums the whole mess the industry is in and the false sense of security the public facePart P is just a building regulation.
But you can take a course in building regulations for domestic properties, including Part P, and a city and guilds exam which results in you receiving a certificate C&G 2393-10.Part P is just a building regulation.
Yes they are. As long as they take on the responsibility for notifying any notifiable works that they choose to do. Otherwise they'll be breaking the law.Those carrying out work in their own properties are entitled to do so....
