Hi guys.
Does anyone know the set-up for domestic sparks working in a European country?
Is there a European governing body?
Are the rest of Europe signed up to comply with 17th edition?
I have been asked to do some private work for British owners/ex-pats on a Polaris developement in Spain.
They have been given some horrendous quotes from the builder's sparks, something like 620 Euros to fit (customer has to supply) 11 light fittings, 2nd fix only. Cables and switches (1st fix) already done by house bashers.
Customers also said the standard of local workmanship (that they have seen) is not great.....chockblocks wrapped in insulation tape outside, 1.5mm T&E for ring main, etc. They would rather have a UK trained sparks they can trust do the work for them.
Anyone on here worked in Spain as a sparks?
Do I need to register with local council, get a work pemit, etc?
Any (sensible) advice welcomed.
I am 17th edition and 2391 qualified but not registered with any scam merchants at the moment.
Cheers.
Bigs
