I would check with your LABC as mine offers a free register for people with the relevant qualifications ie: 17th + 2391 and a least 2 million liability insurance.you don't have to be scam registered and they send you a unique reference number that you put on all certs you issue,minor works...install certs and eicr,s.this then allows you to do domestic electrical work in your local borough and sign it off.
 
last time I asked mine 3 year back it was £190 per job wish I lived in rotheram do they alow you to do this for free lol

they do allow it for free...here is a copy of the email I received from them.
Further to our telephone conversation of earlier regarding registration for the (free of charge) Rotherham Building Control Competent Persons list, please find attached the pro forma for you to fill out and return with copies of your relevant qualifications.
As I explained this would only cover you for the Rotherham MBC area, but if you check with the other Local Authorities in the area they may have a similar scheme.
Kind regards,
 
I will be checking again and if mine( WIGAN COUNCIL ) has changed, which I doubt very much I will be cancelling my scam membership and saving myself a small fortune lol and may even point them in the direction of rotheram councils ( Free of charge registration for local work ) what a good idea that is, then there would be no need for these scams as you could contact each council for the area you wish to work in
Cheers

I have said this for years that local councils cannot legally force you to be a member of a Scheme to submit certification . I live in Scotland and Edinburgh council accepts certification by "Enquiry" or in other words the front and back copy of your SJIB card along with a copy of you test meter(s) calibration certificate.

Why do they accept this easy they don't want to go against the European Free Trade Act by forcing a business or individual to go via a Scheme company that in my view has no legal standing and if audited cannot prove that they are policing the system.

Heres the final email I received from the girl today at my LABC
Hi Mick,
Your registration has now gone through for the above competent persons scheme. Your number is **** on our list, so if you add that to your BS7671 Certs when you do any domestic reportable works in the Rotherham area we will be able to find you.
Kind regards
Debbie

 
This whole part p thing improves nothing,my mate was having an extension built and they were doing the lot,anyway i went round and was looking at the wiring they had removed an existing socket front and crimped 2 legs onto the ends to feed all the sockets on that side,the crimps were all bunched together and wrapped with tape,nothing run in safe zones,on another wall they had removed the socket that was in the middle of the wall and ran a cable from this to a socket about 600mm to the left of it they then ran a cable from here to another socket 600mm on the other side of centre,then a cable from this back to centre to complete the ring.Again the cables were crimped and taped and due to be plastered in.Apparently the building inspector had seen this and said it was ok,bear in mind that the same inspector did not seem concerned that the 2 new walls were not tied in to the original structure.I advised him to ring BC and get them out again,I await the outcome with interest.
