Title: NIC Domestic Installer Scheme
Post by lenny on Feb 17th, 2010, 1:22pm

Hi

I am thinking of joining the NIC DIS and was wondering if anyone had recently done this and had any useful information for me regarding the best types of jobs to show the assessor and the relevant paperwork i would need to show during the assessment. Any help would be much appreciated.

Personally I wouldn't bother with any of them.

I have never joined any of the scams and am quite happy doing my own thing without paying their exorbitant fees.

But if you want to domestic installtion work that is notifiable then you have to mess around with building control. Wouldn't it be easier to get on a scheme and self certify instead? It costs 250 quid every time you
involve building control. How can you avoid it otherwise?

Take for a fact, that Part P is not, and never will be effectively policed - no Public money, and they've no idea what they are looking at in any case.

Also - why do you think that rolls of the old red & black coloured cable fetch so much on ebay?

Of course, there's always the obvious - Not all electrical work is notifiable in any case.


;D ;D ;D ;D
