There's a third scenario. The work is done by (say) a CORGI registered
fitter, a sole trader. For whatever reason it goes BLAM - at any time in
the
future.

The fitter can't be found - moved, changed jobs, died ....

What then?

The trade organisation he/she was a member of will be able to advise on
these procedures
for you. If the installer has died or moved away out of the country, then
the matter is
taken up by the powers that regulate that particular trade. So you do
have a comeback on
someone if this does occur. If the installer wasn't part of any of these
organisations,
then they wouldn't be properly certificated and, hence, shouldn't be
installing that type
of equipment. So it goes back to being a DIY job.


You reckon that the trade body would accept any liablilty whatsoever because
one of their past members had done a shoddy job? Or that they would do
anything other than fight like hell to protect their member's interest?

If the signature on the completion or safety certificate was made by one of their members,
then yes, they do have to uphold their part in the proceedings. After all, it is them who
makes the rules.
