Would you be happy putting your name on a test cert for another sparkys work?

only if i knew them personaly i know another electrician that has to sign work off and has to fail some of them . quite frankly anyone that has a job fail shouldnt be doing the work

i am soon going to need to run power up to a new shed (impending house move) does the change mean i dont need a part p guy to do it? i know it used to be all outside stuff had to be part p or would it depend it if was a completely new circuit?

house isnt even built yet, but never to early to consider a decent shed!

The Building inspector told me about this last month, not many sparkys I know were aware of it.

Good news for me as my mate did all the work in my house extension, and while he has Part P it's with the council, so he can't sign-off he work.

So problem now solved

It will still fall under part P but you can now agree with a registered sparky you do what your told to complete the work and he certifies it

Which is way I have been doing the very odd bit I do for ages! (I am still listed as qualified supervisor for mates firm )

It reads like building inspectors don't want to certify the work any more and you now need a sparky to certify. Is that close? I'd worry about finding a sparky who would do that.

I need to re-route / modify a lot of existing circuits, some of which will be in bathrooms and kitchens. I'm not a competent person but should be a whole lot more competent than the last guy who had a bash at them.

I think That's a fair assessment Malcolm. I think building control were happy when loads of central government money to do job but now have to pay there own way not happy bunts.
