[QUOTE="Gina, post: 539925, member: 36065"] I think he doesn't certificate as he will be responsible after.. But he is still the one who did the job. So, he needs to finish it and certificate it. I will have to pursue with him very nicely as I always do, maybe that's why I loose. Too nice to people. PS. I worked with people all my life and so far I was good at it, but I never renovate a house. UNG "Looking at the photos posted earlier I would like to think he was doing the dead tests on each circuit before he connected them into the new CU, I would expect any earth (ground) faults to be found during the R1 + R2 testing"! Again, I wonder if it ever crossed his mind.. and I wonder why I never thought of checking more electricians? Oh, I know the answer, because I don't see the future! It's too late now for any upstairs fixings, we will see with him around what he says, but surely before doing anything to the floors downstairs we have stuff in order. Hopefully! Electricians on this thread are far from us. UNG, do you think a £1200-£1300 is very cheap for what you mentioned already about checks, so testing, installing, the CU material and certificate, how much would that be in Bromley London area? Or in your area? We never negociate the price, we just read the message and agreed. So, it's not like we fought for cheaper. The electrician initially mentioned £850, as mentioned above it increased due to a forth fuse box which was only one fuse in it, but hey, it's ok, let's just add another half of the price and also do bad. I would never feel sorry for money agreed if any job done is right. I think everyone agrees. [/QUOTE]
