Contact his CPS?

What's a CPS?

Competent Person Scheme.Â* One of:

NICEIC or Elecsa (both owned by Certsure)
NAPIT or Stroma (both owned by NAPIT)

They all have databases of registered tradespeople.Â* Look him up and see
where he is registered.

I think you can do EICRs without being on a CPS, since that's
primarily for
Part P.Â* But it would be rather telling if so (particularly if he
proposes
doing remedial work himself).

He's NICEIC. But dobbing him in over this seems a bit OTT.

OTT?Â* All you need to do is ask NICEIC if they agree with the reason he
gave you for the installation needing to be to be tested again in 1
year. If not, can they have a word with him and you get a new
certificate.Â* (And if so, why isn't the same true for all landlords?)
It's not as if he'll get struck off.






I have rechecked my EICR.


On Page 1, under Part 2:

Purpose for which this report is required: the spary put down:

Landlords Report

and Part 5: Next Inspection it actually says:

a bit of blah blah then this installation should be further inspected
and tested after an interval of not more than 5 years

and Give Reason for recommendation and the sparky put "Rented Property"

So its clear the sparky is aware its a rental property and has stated a
retest/reinspection interval of 5 years.

Having said that, I can well believe that tenants can "interfere" with
the electrics particularly if they have a Landlord that is not proactive
and responsive enough to fixing problems upon request by the tenant.
