Electrics Confusion

[bitzz]

Just my tupennce worth, I looked into getting relevant qualifications to do my own electrical work in kitchen fits, by the time I took the courses passed the exams bought the test equipment etc etc etc . It was just not worth it. My insurance company advised me , that for them to insure me , I would have to jump through every hoop in the kingdom. So now, when I price installs I do not price any electrical work at all, I recommend three electricians, I work with, on a regular basis, and the customer deals with them directly. I wont even connect a hard wired appliance. The electricians I work with basically tell me that the last guy to touch the electrics in the property, is responsible and the fall guy if anything goes wrong.

I work this way also sparkies just deal straight with customer saves me a lot hassle and grief, they give me work in return like redoing walls etc where they've been working, simple two way exchange of working probably will not work for everyone but does for me.
