how to sign off my loft?

**jobjob** · 22nd September 2009, 12:36 AM

I'm a new member, an electrician who don't normally work domestic.

A couple of years ago I had a loft exstention done comprising of an on-suit and a bedroom. I've installed a few sockets and lighting off exsisting circuits all up to 16th edition. The rest of the extention has been signed off, Problem is part p hasn't been signed off and wanting to move house without spending money on extras (ie split board and other 17th additions etc).

What's the best way to get part p sorted; Will the council fine me for the works that I have done even though the work is upto a good standard.

This has kept me up at night with frustation and considard another career.

well if you are an electrician then you are qualified to sign off BS7671 certificates

I would notify it, trouble is, as you have guessed, you be effectively saying it is a new installation, so should be to the 17th

Cant you just stick a few RCBO's in?

The council came around and signed off all other parts of the job and has see the end result before she left mentioned part p. I tested the work at the time but part p being new and me being unsure got put on the backburner. The council knowing when the job started and there being a clause saying that all works should be noticified within 30 days.
Is there a way that the results that I did at the time of completion would comply?

Are councils understanding in these sorts of situations, or will they just quote I need to be part of a compatent person scheme.

no, you dont need to be part of a competent persons scheme

All you need to do is submit a valid BS7671 certificate to your local authority, so lets say you 'tested' it last week, then thats when the cert would be signed......if you know what i mean.......
