Hi,
I am about to start a garage conversion where I require an electrician to fit 6 downlights, 4 double sockets and smoke alarm to mains/existing alarms.

Pretty straightforward and I have a relative who is prepared to do the work.

For the building warrant I will need the work to be signed off.

Can anyone tell me if I can employ a company to certify somebody elses work and provide certificate? I am in Scotland if that sways things.

Would really appreciate someones adice as it will save a small fortune.

Thanks.

Many companies check building warrant works.

To comply with current building standards in Scotland you will need;
Fire rated downlighters
Down lights with a efficiency of 55 lumens per circuit watt (no halogen lamps allowed now)
You will need to link the existing alarms with new one(s)

I think you need to look around for more quotes- I charge £45 per item (supply and fit), energy efficient, fire rated spots are an additional £20 each.

So I reckon the lot would be £500-£600, supply, fit, materials and labour AND certification.
