Roughly how much would I expect to pay for an electrician to provide a

The Internet is a little confusing; I have read that it is illegal to
issue a BS7671 certificate if you didn't do the installation.

I also read that an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
should be all you need although this isn't included on the form.

I also read that the local Council should be able to certify but then
read that they won't usually (perhaps).

certificate,-bs7671-certificate,

The work relates to modernising the kitchen electrics (discussed yeah
these many years ago on this forum; probably around 2006).

Any advice on the most cost effective route?

Just to add that I have located a certificate for the part of the work
which was wiring in the new boiler, upgrading the fuses from wire to plug
in RCD, and some earth bonding.

Does the fact that an electrician signed off this installation imply that
the rest of the system was safe at the time of the upgrade?

I would assume there is a reasonable argument as the upgrade of the fuse
box was a required part of the work (required by the electrician).
