Who Are You Registered With?

[RWJ]

NICEIC just because we've been with them for donkeys years (well apart from a falling out we had over money owed to us so we went to Napit for 8 months lol)


To be honest if we weren't stuck in the AC rut we would probably register with Elecsa as their members are always singing their praise something the other schemes don't have!

Think he meant the AC scheme, which some (not meaning Sparkylec) think is the Holy Grail of schemes.... No different from any other scheme IMO... Just more expensive lolol
If you've been on the AC scheme for years and know and get on with your area engineer then showing him a plug top will probably get you a pass!

That's a bit harsh RWJ,

I think you have to show him where the little wires go as well.

Showing him the biscuit tin is the key!

I am registered with NAPIT. I was going to register with NICEIC as they are more recognised by the public; but considering 90+% of people I talk to don't know who they are anyway I went with NAPIT. They were more friendly, helpful, thorough & a little cheaper I registered with them.

They have been very good so far.

I chose Elecsa to rob me as they wanted to steal the least.

Hello all,

I will be a qualified Domestic Installer within the next couple of months and will probably choose Elecsa, purely from what I have read on this thread. I have however heard of a registering body called 'Stroma' which only charges £250.Does anyone have any info on them?

And what do you actually get from a registered body other than to become legal, a genuine question as it will help me to choose? Stroma is £250 and I will be legal!

With NAPIT. I have had no issues at all with them but my renewal is coming up next month.

Is anyone familiar with ELECSAs annual fee. + 1 MCS technology

Has anyone else moved from NAPIT to ELECSA?

Consider what your public liability insurance will say if you make a claim, you will be high and dry they won't pay! You are illegal.

What would people recommend as to what company to go for when first starting out.. Most people i see go for niceic but is nappit and elecsa just a good or not...

 

[MDJ]

I'm a approved contractor with the NICEIC, and automatically get the DI rating with them.

 

[jharrington]

Thanks how long have you been with them for??

 

[MDJ]

10 years now with my business, but I was a QS for 6 years previously before owning a business so 16 years with the NICEIC for me

 

[AP Electrical]

Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm transferring to niceic from elecsa this weekend, purely to help my business, sad fact more people recognise the brand and to stand any chance of getting on any tender lists its something I have to do.

 

[jamsey]

[staggie65]
