Depends on your clients.
Purely domestic (your own customers) any will do.
If you work for rental agencies they may prefer nic.
Any council work will require nic too.
So I'm paying £478.80 +VAT for the privalege of letting them know that I've done a job. And then paying £1.50 +VAT for 'Insurance' for each job?
That is pretty S#!T.
So how much does it cost for me to tell the LABC via email etc of a job that I have done?
Could I become a part 'P' organisation? Or could we as a forum become a organisation and cut the cost of this scam to ourselves?
Not 100% true, local borough council round here is ECA/Elecsa
Blimy, Elecsa is only 444 inc the vat
Set up some hidden cameras and if he finds them then he is doing a good job, if not you have the record! (just put up the warning notice in an out of the way place)I live in a council house and I do all my own electrical improvements (I'm elecsa not that it matters). Seriously though, I have recently received a letter from an electrical contractor who has been awarded the contract to carry out "electrical tests" for the council. They are NICEIC and state that they will carry out a PIR/EICR in an hour, in fact on the phone the nice lady from the company explained to me it usually can be done alot quicker. Cant wait to see what they do, may try to film it or would that be wrong?

I will say that Elecsa seems to be one of the friendlier schemes
This question is a no-brainer (which suits me)
Around my way the NICEIC name carries the most respect from the public/councils and yes, other electrical contractors even if they also belong to ECA etc
I am a DI with NIC just to make Part P issues go away. If I actually did a greater percentage of electrical work I would upgrade to Approved Contractor without much thought.
but its getting any local authority work....
we all know that local authorities are supposed to `spread the work` between all the scams....just that they don`t though..do they...
