[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 455603, member: 8419"] You can threaten to complain without actually doing it. But I see where you are coming from. Seems you can only ask them for their certs, depending on what works they have done, they are obliged (by BS7671, which is not the law) to issue one. When replacing a consumer unit they are also obliged (by their scheme providers) to notify building control (ref Part P of the building regulations, which are the law, but places the responsibility on the Homeowner, oddly) If you were to complain to NAPIT, I am sure they would be interested, as both are members, and it is bringing their name into disrepute. Most, if not all, schemes have an insurance-backed warrantee which will pay for another member to come around and finish the job, although how this would work in reality is another question. Another option would be to speak to Building Control on their next visit(?) and ask whether an EICR would be acceptable for them to be able to sign off on the job. [/QUOTE]
