re-wiring house, basic information needed

[traker]

Hi
Can someone explain me step by step what electrician should do before he will start work in house.
I found the electrical work should be registered at local authority.
But an electrician told me he dosen't have to do this.
In house he will installing new distribution board, re-wiring all circuits, add one new circuit.
Do we need new electrical layout plan for this job?
Does he should registered this job before start it ?
What documents we will need from him to sell this house ?
Thx for your answer.

it needs an EIC ( elec. installation cert.) anf also notifying to your local building control. easiest way is if the installer is niceic or 1 of the other schemes. if he is in a scheme, notification is done after, within 30 days. i'd get at least 2 quotes. i'd be happy to oblige. ( mate is niceic and approved for notification ).

if you use a non-registered electrician, notification has to be done before starting and will cost you an extra £300.

Don't you trust your electrician? Why agree for him to do the work. I wouldn't give you an itinerary with which to check if your electrician is doing the work correctly. I hope the electrician picks up on your distrust and advises you to get someone else.

Notify the LABC
Part P
EIC Electrical Installation Certificate
It would be an advantage if he was registered with one of the CP Schemes, but no problem if he isn't it will just cost you the fee of notifying the LABC
Think that's all others will add if required

Do you know where he lives?

don't need

If you are part of CPS then no you don't need to notify the scheme will and the Part P compliance will automagically get to the distrustful one.

Does what he has quoted for match what you want?
I presume you discussed what you required when he came round to do the quote.

ot does need to be notified. whether thriugh a scheme or not. mypoint was the electrician telling OP that notification to labc is not needed.
I found the electrical work should be registered at local authority.
But an electrician told me he dosen't have to do this.

if he meant that he doesn't need to inform labc before, then OK, but OP needs then to ensure that he can notify through a scheme.

 

[The Ghost]

I was assuming the former, that he is with a scheme. Therefore I could understand why the spark might say he does not need to do this.

I rewired my house a few years back do I need to notify anyone and is it good practice to re crimp the lead seal on the funny cable that goes in the hole for the main fuse?

Hang on be back in a sec as the smoke alarm has gone off..........

Thx for your answer.

1. If he is a member of a scheme he will notify the job after completion not before starting.
2. Electrical layout??? surely you discussed what you want
3. he does not need to register before starting
4. he will give you a certificate when the works are completed
5. do you not trust him?

Better ask a conveyancing solicitor that one as you don't trust your electrician, who is not competent to answer legal questions.

He’s probably signed up to the solicitorsforums after seeing this post.. he definitely won’t trust anything his conveyancing solicitor tells him.

Think the OP has gone off and shot himself in the head.

But I only posted once..

 

[traker]

I checked him and he is not with a scheme. I see it's better if I will call someone with a scheme.
I don't trust him cuz o don't know him.
Thx for answer.

The best thing to do is ask family/friends/neighbours for recommendations when hiring tradesmen.
