Competent electricians

Competent electricians who are not members of a self certification scheme, but are capable of testing installations and issuing Electrical Installation Certificates under BS7671, can carry out electrical work in dwellings, but will be required to submit a Building Notice to Carlisle City Council for each individual job. Building Control will then inspect the work at first fix and completion stages, and will require a copy of the Electrical Installation Certificate for validation by the Council's electrical consultant.
