I know this has been done to death but, I have just reached the stage

What is the actual mechanism of certification? *He does it on line* from
the builder. I'll sign it off when I have the gas and electrical
certificates from building control.

Sparks should issue you with an Electrical Installation Certificate, on
paper (unless it's a very high-tech operation) and should also notify the
notifiable (Part P) elements of the work to BC through his accrediting
body
(NICEIC, NAPIT or whoever) which should get you a piece of paper from that
body certifying that it's been notified to BC. I think! I'm more familiar
with the gas notification mechanism.

That is correct John. About a week after on-line notification the customer
gets a letter to say the work has been notified.
