His quals should be on his profile, he hashis own company "Fitzy the Sparky" so keeping his profile upto date shouldn't be a difficult task, it would save any misunderstanding and comments from the likes of me. Simple really.

My in laws are having their new build wired bur the company are not part of anybody such as nic eic

They are on about self certifying their work and not notifying building control....is this possible?

Or would building control need to come and have a look?

You need to make sure that your in-laws are aware of the issues they will be facing getting:

A. A completion certificate

B. Answering all the questions as and when they want to sell the property.

Seeing as "A" is more pressing, then they need to deal with this issue NOW, and in writing with LABC ..................

Burying their heads in the sand / and or hoping this issue will go away are not options IMHO.

if it's a new biuild, the installer just needs to prove competence to LABC, usually by giving them a copy of his quals. then on completion give them a copy of the EIC.

So you don’t need to be a scheme member to work on new builds? Is that because the developer/builder would’ve notified the local building Control?

Fitzy The Sparky isn’t my company name.....

My post was just my opinion like everyone else’s opinion, but based on what I’ve read on here when you and other time served sparkies lay in to other posters when they don’t get building control involved etc “they’re probably not qualified or dont even know what they’re doing” etc.....

Fitzy does have a point there.

However, last month I was in a scheme, this month I'm not. Does that change my competency - no wise arsed remarks please

There is a bit of snobbery involved in some of this. I did an apprenticeship 45 years ago, and return to the industry 5 years ago, after a 30 year gap. I bet there's some of the Electrical Trainee, that had more knowledge than me, when I did return; experience thats subjective.

Just because this company is not in a scheme, doesn't necessarily mean they are not competent to carry out the work, supply the appropriate certification and supply a compliance certificate, as I alluded to in # 5.

If you binned Stroma tomorrow, would that make you incompetent as an electrician?

Well that's what it says in your profile Fitzy.
