I suppose you could pay the building notice fees either at your cost, or
at least from your profits in order to carry out the work at no
additional cost to the client. While not ideal it could simply be
considered another startup cost.
At £60 odd a pop not too bad really, and I suppose it would be
deductable :-)
As an aside, the BCO does not require full testing, he was happy just
to come back on completion with his plug tester and go around the
sockets :-).

Saves *you* having to buy all that expensive test gear, at least in one go.

I would like to test the disconnection times myself though
just for peace of mind. Is the kit available reasonably priced to do
this? I wouldn't have thought so.

Probably around £500 for a full set and remember it needs periodic
recalibration.

Cheers, I'm not paying that :-(
I'll just get an RCD tester £20 or abouts
