It is much easier and cheaper to get it done according to the rules.

A friend of mine qualified as a Demostic Installer, at some cost to
himself, but wound up with very little work.

Since I can't believe that the area he lives in has stopped having
electrical work done, it raises the question of how much work in fact
get reported/certified.

A run-down repossessed house just down the road from here has been
enjoying the attention of a gang of people who work there 18 hours a
day. None of them speak English. From the chiselling sounds there's a
lot of chasing-out being done. One wonders if these people are
following the regs; but it seems they've bought it to do up and flog
at a profit.

Has anyone any estimates for what percentage of work gets notified?
