I have just had my technical inspection from the ECA and things are looking good for me to be a member,,
i have to say once part p is in force i am looking forward to putting my rates up and reaping the rewards.. lots of contractors around my area are not going to bother to register for part p..
i have also heard that the local council will use registed electrical contractors to inspect the work of those who are not.... dont know if this is true .. if so looking forward to being a nominated contractor,, and charging accordingly.... loads of money..
the thing is it has its faults but it is a start for us to get rid of the cowboys and diy'ers doing there extensions etc..
I have not long quoted a job,, a new house timber framed,, the customer rang me to say i was the lucky electrician to win the contract and would like me to start asap.. i said yes would be in 2 weeks,, ok he said.. 2 days later he rang me to say he would not require me because he would be doing the job with his nephew,,,, cheers mate.. hope you put nails in all your stuffin cables
