A mate has had a kitchen fitted about 6 months ago that involved major
electrical work, new cooker feed, adding a new ring main just for kicthen
and electical underfloor heating. All is now complete'ish, new ceiling up,
walls replastered, and tiled, painting done, floor tiled etc.

However speaking to him the other day he realised he has absolutely nothing
in terms of paperwork to do with the electrical testing/Part P. Went back
the fitting company who said the fitter they employed was Part P self
certifying and should have given him the paperwork of what he did, but as
they have parted company with this fitter my mate should therefore get the
electrics certified/tested and the fitting company will pay. No problem he
thought.

A quick phone call to a couple of electricians reveals a problem, none of
them are interested as they did not fit the electrical installation so
therefore cannot sign it off as they can no longer physically inspect
it.!!!!!

I suspect my mate is asking for the wrong thing, what should he be asking
electricians for ?

Should be asking the local building control for "completion certificate"

The fitting company is not much help as they only employ self certifying
fitters and don't have a clue what paperwork should be issued.
