Look at it this way
Building Control have better things to do than pay attention to these
matters unless you really insist on getting them involved.
You appear to a competent person in the frame to actually do the work.
So there is no reason to suppose that it will be in any way deficient.
In fact employing someone you know is probably a better way to get a
good job done than choosing AN Other proffering the right bit of paper.

Assuming the house continues to be lived in for many future years the
question of the existence or otherwise of bits of paper does not arise.

If it is sold a serious buyer wont be fussed about the bits of paper if
the 'lectrics look ok, and wont be pleased if their solicitors drags out
the process and the fees by making a fuss on their behalf. Non-serious
buyers should be told to go away anyhow.

If in the future some question arises then in the worst case you get the
whole house electrics inspected at that time.
