A friend recently had a new kitchen fitted by a kitchen company. They supplied all the tradesmen and before they started, they recommended that she have a new consumer unit fitted, which she did, using their electrician. A different electrician turned up to do the work in the kitchen (sockets, spotlights etc). Now everything is complete, neither electrician wants to issue a Part P certificate for the kitchen because they won't certify the other person's work. :mad:

My question is, does she need a Part P certificate? The kitchen company seem to be washing their hands of this matter because they say the electricians were paid by my friend and so it's her job to sort them out. This doesn't sound right to me.

Sorry, I forgot to add, turns put the electrician who changed the consumer board isn't Part P registered! His son, who is registered, would have to sign the certificate...is this legal?

The same thing happened to us when I had my kitchen put in.The kitchen company had us get the sockets ect done and added to the mains(I'm no expert so I assume this is what they did)They then sent their own electricians to connect everything and check it all.They actually checked the whole of the downstairs circuit.Living room the lot.The electrician who worked for us won't issue the part P and the electricians who worked for the kitchen company who checked and passed everything won't issue a Part P.This was two years ago and we still don't have the certificate.

Part P is a bit of a diversion here

Each electrician should supply a BS7671 certificate for each part of the job; that way they are certifying their OWN work.

The kitchen guy should supply a certificate for each circuit he worked on, and the electrician that changed the consumer unit should supply a EI(Electrical Installation Certificate) for the consumer unit change

Sorry, I never realised there were more replies. Can you tell me what you mean by this? Part P is a bit of a diversion here
Is there no such thing as a certificate called Part P?
