Tame electrician needed
I'm in need of a tame electrician for my new project in Newport Pagnell. We're very tight on budget so someone who is prepared to let me
do all the donkey work ie pulling in the cables, screwing outlets to the walls, etc and then come in afterwards to hook everything up and, crucially,
certify it. There's probably still a good week's worth of work there for someone just doing that bit, hence why I'm having to save
a bit by doing as much of the labouring as possible myself.
Main requirement of the project are:
- Main 3-phase installation into the site's main board and the unit's master distribution
- Installation of 3 sub-boards
- Installation of changeover and bypass switches for generator/UPS
- Each sub-board has 14 circuits each feeding a single 16A C form
- All lighting circuits
I'm competent with everything required but not qualified. If it was my own house I'd just do it myself, but as it's a commercial
premises I need all the paperwork to be in order. The plan to keep the cost down is for me to do all the first fix and then have someone come in,
connect it all up, and certify it all.
Evenings and weekends are fine, but I need a legal entity to invoice me ie this can't be a 'cash job'. However, the other option
could be a share in the business if you wanted to fly solo - no invoice required to do that - although I'm not sure how this affects the
certification?
Ideally you would be willing to help out in the planning stage for example to help me make sure I've selected the correct cables, etc.
I'm sure I will have silly questions as I go along so someone who is prepared to pick up the phone now and again would be considered a bonus.
Travelling distance to Newport Pagnell is obviously something to consider.
Drop me a line if you're in a position to help!
Cheers, Chris

Cant help sadly as im not registered myself for certifying, but you should be able to find someone to do that. They would want a visit at the
beginning to agree the design of the installation, and you'd need to leave everything accessible for inspection at the end.
I would mention though that, as far as i know, commercial premises arent covered by part p so there may be no requirement for notifying the LABC
(anyone can fill in test certificates, its the proper registering of the job that is required for domestic installs). Maybe your insurer would object
though.

I build kit houses in the evenings and do all the wiring myself, never had any issues getting an electrician to check and sign off my work. Houses are
really simple to wire tbh

Still looking for someone!
Just as an example of the work, the first job is to install a 250A 3-phase feed from the building's main board to a sub board. Approx 50m run
of cable.
