⚡ Why electricians can’t always “just sign work off” ⚡

A common one I get asked is:

“Can you just do the EICR / finish the work / issue the certificate after someone else has started?”

The simple answer is usually no.

If another contractor has already completed work such as a consumer unit replacement or started remedials, the responsibility for certification, testing and notification sits with the person carrying out those works.

As a fully registered and qualified electrician for inspection, testing, domestic and commercial installations, I can only certify work I have inspected, tested and been responsible for carrying out.

For works such as consumer unit replacements, the installer should be providing:

✅ Full testing results
✅ Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC)
✅ Building Regulations notification where applicable
✅ Responsibility for the installation completed

There is an increasing focus within the industry on competency, qualifications and accountability, which is a positive thing for customer safety and installation standards.

This isn’t electricians being awkward — it’s about making sure installations are safe, compliant, and that the correct person takes responsibility for the work completed.

People say solar doesn’t work — but I find it hard to understand how people can’t see it as a viable option.

You’re saving on bills, producing your own electricity, and relying less on grid power.

A customer said to me last week after an install, when we went back to see how everything was performing:

“It’s better than having money sat in the bank at 4%.”

And they’re right — for a lot of people, the return on solar can be better than leaving money sitting in the bank.

These two images show yesterday’s generation from a 10-panel premium system using Victron, Aiko panels, and a 16kWh battery system.

Image 1: yesterday’s production — and 0 pulled from the grid.
Image 2: today’s predicted generation.

Have a look for yourself and compare it to your own usage.

If you have an EV, having a battery is a no-brainer. Add solar into the mix and I think most people would be surprised at what they could save.
