Before anyone thinks it - its not me. I stick to FCU's and baby stuff and I do Minor works forms for changing an accessory because I think i should at my level of competence.
OK - Chap aged a lil older than me (Qualified 1979 no training since) will do domestic CU changes and rewires without any fear, even does special locations, without concerns because he says he has years of experience and he is a Qualified Electrician.
No tests no certs, just wire and fire. I have a Multifunction Tester, that I use, and he just looks at me like I am wearing a dress.
Now I need to do a Part P Limited Scope Course (waits for eggs, bricks and bottles to fly in) because i might want to add a spur in a kitchen, or even....use a mains CCTV camera outside. Consequently I have worked with this bloke for some experience (no touchy just learny) and frankly I have a far better grasp of 7621 and building regs, Inc P.
I have seen him do a lot of things that I would not. I think I should probably not work with him, but, my question is - is this a common situation?
I am very experienced and unqualified so I restrict what I do. But I suspect wht he is doing might actually be a Criminal Offence. At risk of being punched in the face by way of reply, what do you lot think?
