I've never done it this way around as I only test my own work, but the
aim is to end up with several bits of paper describing the installation
in detail. I suspect that your electricians are probably going to have
to come back when second fix is done, as some of the tests can't be
completed until everything is connected up. How thorough they are will
be interesting - *please* report back when they've been.

I can't believe they will do anything very substantial
for their share of the £59.99, including two site visits.

A really thorough inspection on a new installation could easily take two
half days (first fix/second fix). AIUI (though I've not had cause to be
on the receiving end myself) there is a maximum that Building Control
can charge the owner, but that says nothing about how much it costs BC
to subcontract the service.

With other items they charge a sliding scale depending on the value of
the work undertaken. Does the same thing apply to electrical work?

Hwyl!
