So they provide a say 10 year warranty on their member's work?

The legal requirement is 2 years.

There's no legal requirement at all.

And you can't buy insurance for that as yet, not even from the NICEIC.


Fair enough, but to be registered for the purposes of Part P with any of
NICEIC, ECA, ELECSA, whatever, whatever, they *all* require the
applicant to have a minimum of £2M public liability insurance, and
insurance in place to be able to offer an (optional) 2-year warranty on
all work undertaken. This insurance isn't easy to find for the slole
trader, and although NICEIC say they are "working on it" even they don't
yet have a scheme in place apparently.

Hwyl!
