Find an NICEIC member. The Scottish gent was probably not a member and so would not be able to provide you with an Electrical Installation Certificate, at least he was honest. The NICEIC assess potential members and carry out an annual assessment on all members. People have this attitude of " elf n safety gone mad", particularly when it effects the pocket but when it comes to electricity and gas you need a suitably qualified installer who will certify the installation. Not infallible of course, I have came across members who abuse it and sign off work for none NICEIC members for a price so ask to see evidence of their membership. There is a NICEIC website that should show you members in your locality. Edited February 3 by eastcoast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that much appreciated, at least I know more now of what to look for , it still doesn’t help though that I cannot find any one who actually want the work, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
