As i have mentioned many times before we joined the NICEIC because we were fed up arguing many points raised here. Being a member pays for its self just from the work we get in, the the Part P notifications are a bonus.

It is only the Public Sector that are not allowed to specify the "governing body", they are the ones subject to anti-competition laws.
Private companies, including Insurance Companies are free to specify what they want, including the pink overalls with blue teddy bears if they so wish!!!

I have actually met sidewinder and pink overalls with blue teddy bears is not what he would contemplate. He does not take kindly to fools, which amazed me as being a fool myself we actually got on well, and do look forward to our next meeting whenever that happens.

As long the beer comes with a curry attached (which it has done every year) I don`t mind who pays ....
If the numbers go up again, this year we`ll need more tables!

Thats an excellent post SL. However you are slightly one-sided towards the customers viewpoint. If a tradesman don't like the customer, for example, he/she has a choice, too. Whether to work for that customer. I recently went to assess a job for a potential new customer. Very well-to-do and extremely nice people. However, I mentioned a day-rate and they looked quite alarmed. The previous spark was doing work for them at

Hi OnOff,
I was wondering which CPS you decided to join in the end. I'm in a similar position:
I've recently become a landlord, and coincidentally have both 2382 and 2391 qualifications from a previous life. A property I have acquired could do with a few notifiable jobs, and the local council charge £310 under the building regulations. It would seem that (although I don't normally practice as an electrician) it may well be worth registering with a CPS as I'd save money on just one job, and would then be able to self certify for anything else that came up. I might even take on the odd electrical contract as well.
STROMA seems to be the cheapest Part P self certification scheme, I was wondering whether you would recommend STROMA or indeed a less expensive scheme?
Best wishes,
Alan

I left Elecsa and joined Stroma this year:
just the same as Elecsa but cheaper for the annual fees and none of this "mandatory" insurance with notifications so the notifications are 50% cheaper.
