KME I went with another provider because I thought they were all equal as Competent Domestic Installer providers, as forced upon us by our not so competent government.
They are all equal for Part P work, and all LABC's will accept them all..
but it is up to the customer to choose who they want and
this is a council landlord's choice NOT the LABC!
It just so happens this particular work is a shower..
but even if it was an extra socket in a bedroom (NON notifiable)
the council as a landlord will still choose the qualifications/bodies any contractor is a member of,
exactly as any private homeowner would..
But there you go some are more equal than others. How would you feel if you were losing jobs because your customer suddenly found the ECA preferable to NICEIC.
That is basic business.. you quote for jobs...
some you get some you don't!
people select on price, qualifications, location, reputation, approved trades bodies, time to complete work, availability etc.. etc...
we all loose jobs for many a combination of any of the above reasons. :|
Much like purchasers preferring the ole VHS tapes rather than Betamax!!! :|
Betamax manufactures cant force people not to use VHS...
customers choice!
That don't help you in this instance Deke:_|
but that is all just part of how business works...:|Guiness Drink
