Ok, this isn't quite DIY, but I'm doing all the finishing.

When the inspectors have come to look at all the bits my builders have
done, should I be getting some sort of completion certificate to prove
that it is all ok.

I presume yes, as otherwise no-one would be bothered about Part P at
all.

So, more to the point, I should make damn sure I've got it before making
the last payment to the builders?
