When do you get the certificates once you have had your electrics finished

This work does not need notifying to BC. If it did, it can be done within 25 days of completion. But the certificate should be issued as soon as after completion, regardless. Also, the certificate number is asked for if you notify. Think if you pay this ‘ electrician ‘ you will NOT see a certificate. As pointed out, a certificate cannot be used as a lever to be paid. It is a legal document Edit.... still stand by what I say. This does not need notification!

The certificates should be provided upon completion, and they form part of the work itself. A contractor is not allowed to withhold certificates in leau of payment. Under the part P scheme, a contractor should notify their provider and they then tell the local authority. Certification is seperate from building control notification and notification is only required for certain installations. Was the new ring final wired back to the distribution board? From reading the above, it doesn't appear that the work is notifiable, however without further information I could be wrong. Regards Ben Edit: It does require notification, although my response regarding the certification still stands. Certification must be provided to the person ordering the work. Edit2: Apologies OP, but may I clarify: Was the circuit replaced in it's entirety? If so, then despite the fact it is a replacement, it should be classed as a new circuit without exception and does require notification. There are test results which must be recorded under BS7671 and there is no provision for this on a minor works certificate. Thus an EIC is required and subsequent BC notification.
