Using a non-registered electrician?

It is common to have other electricians sign off other electricians work, especially when they know each other well. If there are problems with the work, the test picks it up so it can be rectified, therefore there isn't much of a worry for an electrician to sign of work he has not done. If you are worried about getting certification, don't make your final payment until you have it.

I read this a few times before I understood that you're actually serious! "Common" - my !!!!!

I won't, none of my "mates" in the trade will either - it's not worth the risk, oh and our Part P schemes don't allow it either (except, NAPIT I think - and then with lots of conditions {supervision of design & installation etc.}) and our PLI providers wouldn't be too impressed at the increased risk either!

Are you on planet Earth or somewhere else??

Yes I am thanks. OP has not confirmed where they are from.

Given that he is called Edinburgher, presumably he is from Edinburgh.

Also, the reference to SELECT (Scottish Electrical Contractors' Association) clearly proves that the work is in Scotland.

Sorry, in Scotland, various works (most minor (light switches etc.), but we do need a new consumer unit.

If Part P isn't applicable, can someone provide a link to the relevant guidance/regulations please?

The guy disappeared as soon as I asked him to confirm his mate's details (i.e. the person who was supposed to be checking the work). Can't say I'm surprised.

@TheCyclingProgrammer, Touche, non? Q.E.D. M'lud. I rest my case... :T

Indeed. Noticed after I had posted when I read through the rest of the thread.
