Does an electrician have to provide a certificate?

Full rewires require an Electrical Installation Certificate and a Part P certificate. You could try reporting him to your local building control office and ask them to investigate. Part P is a Statutory Law.

Hi Any decent electrician will be registered with an accredited body that can provide certification for electrical works carried out. Did you check that they were registered with anyone or did you take it on the builders word? If so you can search online to see and then contact the appropriate body which they are attached to. If they aren’t then I would go back to the builder and ask them to provide certification. With the NICEIC works are required to be registered within a timeframe from completion so I would guess the cancelled appointments are for a reason. The only way forward would be have an accredited electrician carry out a condition report on the whole installation as no one would want to put there name to someone else’s work as they would have no idea if they had carried out the works to an acceptable standard.

I would ask again for the certificate or alternatively you would have to report to his governing body ie NAPIT, NICEIC. Hope this helps

competant persons register. Check there. Paper certificates are no good. They can be written on generic certificates. You need an electronic copy with the installers scheme such as Stroma or Napit. Their installer no and THEN a seperate certificate to demonstrate the work has been lodged with local building control. I'm 100% sure from your builders behaviour that you have electrical work which can't be signed off and has been done illegitimately. Small claims court might be the answer. Would certainly get your builders attention. Contact building control. They deal alot with local builders. They may know yours.

If you had a full rewire , yes , you should have had an electrical installation certificate for the works . it is also notifiable work so should have been registered with the local authority . Chase the electrician for the certificate and registration and if no joy, if he was actually registered , report him to his governing body, if he has one , for non compliance.
