How to get a copy of certificate

[bhamoggy]

I need to get a copy of a certificate for d/b installation. My son in law rented our house, had the works done by someone and won’t give me the certificate as I want to sell the property.
Can I download it from building control or NIC and would it cost?

1) I’d change the sil
2) you could contact the NICEIC as many of there’s are kept on digital portal so may be able to help?

there's no obligation to upload a cert to any database, so I doubt they would have it. However, it is illegal to withold certs from a customer and as you are the property owner, you should have been supplied a copy, so I would be looking to contact said sparkies registration body with a formal complaint if you can find out who did the job and they are not willing to help.

Won't give it to you ?? Does one actually exist?

Don’t the. NICEIC have an online for completing certificates anymore?
I recall just going on to their portal and completing a certificate and had option to print for my records if needed but they were accessible at any time by logging in?

It’s on the NIC portal have it so I can download it for £25.

I would call NICEIC first in case that is just the notification certificate for part P compliance?

Wondering if I could call Evolec ltd for a copy which should include all the meter readings?

our regulations say the certificate should be given to the owner, and a copy to the person ordering the work (if different)

so yes approach the company who installed the fuseboard.

does this suggest your son in law is not giving you a copy ?

Exactly and relationship has completely broken down and he’s probably destroyed the certificate.
I got the above certificate from NIC for £25

So now approach installer with a copy of the cert you have and ask for a copy of install certificates. As Murdoch stated you are entitled to one.

not been a member for a few years, but they used to have a facility to complete certs o the portal, which is OK until you leave them as you dont have your own records.

...and there's no obligation for any contractor to use their portal either,,, I've not used it for a good few years, and the NICEIC have absolutely no knowledge of any of the jobs that I do except for when I notify them for Part P or my assessor goes to look at any of them during my annual assessment

If they are still a member of NICEIC, I'd give them a bell and ask for a copy, otherwise, as has been said , they haven't provided a copy to the property owner and could end up getting a (very little) bit of grief from NICEIC.

“Fuseboard”. I would hope not in 2022. Ever heard of a CU?

i still call them fuseboards, customers understand what that is. Never did like CU, distribution board would have been more appropiate.

Aye in Bonnie Scotland ,could be a wee bit confusing !
As in this example -:

2nd time you’ve stuck your oar in about terminology - give it a rest.

Some customers don’t know what fuse boxes are let alone consumer units.

The way you write your posts makes me wonder if you’re another member with a 2nd profile

I still come across lots of fuse boards in continued use and will likely continue to do so for some time.

I also find it easier to ask customers about their “fuse board, fuse box, trip box, breaker board” because that’s what people understand. Why do you need to correct people about it?
