randomly hit the keyboard and produced: As far as you go - in a couple of years there's nothing the LABC can do to you due to limitations of law, and in this case they are not likely to attempt a prosecution... It tends to be bent and dangerous tradesmen that they spend time persuing, not householders. Technically (and Hugo may give a more informed opinion as he is a BCO) I think you'd need to regularise this as your main option with the LABC, which is typically going to cost 100-150 quid (very dependant on LABC) *and* they may want you to produce an EIC at your expense, so that's another 150-300 for a PIR. Tim, your up-thread post had it spot-on as to what the OP should do. If the electrics were part of the original application (eg, a kitchen extension which will include notifiable electrical work), then the application stays 'live' until all the Requirements are met (including Part P). The BCO should have been told before the work started if the work was being done by a member of a Competent Persons Scheme. If not they should have been inspecting the electrical installation themselves, and also have had an installation certificate from the qualified electrician on completion. If the work is not part of the application (eg, where the building work is a lounge extension, but you're also replacing a consumer unit at the same time), then the B/Regs application can be signed off without an electrical installation certificate. The BCO has noticed the notifiable works, and would be expecting to see either a CPS notice from one of the bodies later if you haven't submitted a Building Notice to the LA before the work started. He may then take prosecution action, but probably won't unless there's something significantly wrong or dangerous, within 2 years of the offence taking place or 6 months of the discovery of the offence (whichever comes first). A periodic inspection report is not usually acceptable in lieu of any inspection or certification of the work. -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?" |
