Thanks for responses. Napit are half the price of Niceic so that's swaying me that way. Any more advice for the next step would be much appreciated!? What's the crack with elecsa not really heard anything about them?
Niceic gets specified as its most recognise brand. It's like coca-cola vs asda value cola
The more expensive one being more full of stuff that you don't need and is bad for you, but justifies it's high price through being an established brand name ?
Katie love...theres no benefits from any of em...their all a set of robbers.....I don't know what benefits you get from NICEIC so couldn't comment.
How have elecsa and Nic joined hands?
How will you notify domestic work to building control without paying a lot more to the other robbers? And at the same time remain profitable and competive?
If its just to self certify domestic work, go with which evers cheapest.
I myself have gone back with the niccy after starting for myself again back in November after working for a company for five and half years. As a small number of my customers are ISO 9000 and they can only use ISO/UKAS accredited suppliers and services.
From what I understand but haven't really looked into it, the other schemes don't have the same recognition with ISO. And I believe only the niccy registered and the ECA bonded companies require you to be a bonafide/fully qualified electrician. Possessing City and Guilds 1 and 2 and equivalent to join them, in addition with the latest version of BS 7671 City and Guilds, to be a qualified supervisor that over sees the quality of design, installation, and testing of electrical installations.
And they do have a very long pedigree, the niccy going back over 50 years, and the ECA going back since after the second world war. Continuing with the support and the development of electrical safety in the UK in harmony with the IET, and British Standards codes of practice.
Whereas the others don't, but there are other benefits with Nappit, as you can notify other areas of work without additional membership with other shemes. It all about horses for causes, and how far you want to go with your business and type of work that you want to undertake.
In an ideal world. Nothing wrong with it though. I spent most days in a three week period on the phone to them due to a tricky customer. Customer wanting more and more yet ignoring that the invoice for original work that was well overdue, i had even sent notices of this fact. I didn't know legally what I could do about it. I was glad of the service otherwise I would have been truly **** on after doing all the extras.If its just to self certify domestic work, go with which evers cheapest. At the end of the day you shouldn't need to phone technical help lines every day.
the problem with the QS position in my opinion, is that you dont need 2391 to be one, we have 5 QS at my place of work, and from what i know only 2 have the qualification, and across the 33 people working in the electrical department on the tools, only 4 have it. yet the NICEIC seem to think its not important. yet we do on average about 6 DEICR per day
Go NAPIT!!! Niceic think they can own you
Ive never had any problems with the niceic, since going Approved contractor have got loads more commercial and insurance testing work too
never once been asked if i was napit registered
never once been asked if i was elecsa registered
always get asked if im niceic registered
get a fair bit of work passed onto me by sparks who aint niceic registered, but their client requires it so they have had to pass it on
Pay me fee and see them once a year and thats pretty much it! same as the others
Surely anyone with an ounce of business sense would see its a no brainer?!
maybe ive just been lucky?
Not if Crapit allow new ring final circuits on a minor works I won't :earmuffs:
I work in schools and for council sometimes local authority and for whatever reason they will only consider NIC approved in my area.
backhanders n nonsense....thats what it is....I work in schools and for council sometimes local authority and for whatever reason they will only consider NIC approved in my area.
Schools accept elecsa around here (well some do) but for councils NIC.
backhanders n nonsense....thats what it is....
Surely elecsa is meant for house bashing isnt it? why would they be specified by a school?
i understand what your sayin Mike....and as you i would always opt for the cheapest as far as the scams are concerned......i just dont think its right that the NIC are regarded as above all else....There,s no doubt buddy your are right, but for some reason local authorities are loyal to the NICEIC and consider the other schemes amateure, I hope this will change soon as I would go with the cheapest and many others too I suspect, but the NICEIC seem to have won over the main men in the local councils and are in pole position, and have been for several years now.
