Hi

I have had some electrical work done for a conversion. The electrician
is fully qualified and has completed the job but has now gone
'missing' without issuing the Part P certificate required for building
regs.

What are my options to get this closed off without having to chase
round for the original electrian?

If the scope of his work isn't complete until he has satisfied Part P, then
don't pay him till he has!

Talk to building control and have it certified using the procedure for
work carried out by a non-part P person.

Of course the original electrician never existed, did he?

Inadvisable, as that procedure *should* involve inspection of the wiring
at first-fix stage, which is now impossible: in theory, at least, the
inspector could demand you re-expose all the wiring which is now hidden
within walls, ceilings and floors.

Presumably you must have already paid him or this wouldn't be an
issue... Do you know what professional body he might be a member of?
They will have a complaints procedure.

Don't you have to be a member of the NICEIC to issue the certificates?

Contrary to the position with CORGI (and subtly different anyway), there are
currently 5 providers of self-certification schemes for Part P notifiable
work (in addition to putting the work through Building Control, or not
bothering(!))

BRE Certification Ltd
BSI - British Standards Institution
ELECSA Ltd
NAPIT Certification Ltd
NICEIC Certification Services Ltd

[source: http://www.theiet.org/publishing/wir...ations/part-p/ ]

The definitive list should be found here somewhe

http://www.communities.gov.uk/corporate/

but the site's down so I can't give a precise link.

Regarding the OP's issue, he would be advised to contact the professional
body of his missing electrician and take it up with them. If the body is
not known, try NICEIC first and ask them if the man is on their roll.
