If he was able to sign it off (I.e. it passed the tests) you should be able to find out from the organisation he is registered with where the certificate is. Could only be one of a few organisations Stroma, NIC EIC, Napit are the biggest. He should have sent his test results to them and then they pass them onto the council. If he was signing off someone else's work then that limits the organisations he could have been with as 3rd party sign off is a fairly new allowance and some of the registered bodies don't allow their people to do it.
It does sound a bit dodgy, maybe he couldn't pass it as it sounds like you have some other (simple) issues. Like dimmers not properly rated for the lights they are powering.

Dodgy builder fun.
So after having the electrics done on the house the electrican/builder sent someone round to do the sign off for the electrical safety certificate. He said it would then turn up in the post a few months later.
It hasn't arrived.
He hasn't answered his phone or emails for the last 6 months after promising he'd come back after Christmas to get it sorted and fix some buzzing lights and dimmers that aren't working properly.
I'm reading horror stories of £5000 fines from the council for non compliance to building regs. Any ideas? Threaten to get in touch with a solicitor unless he gets it sorted pronto?
In more positive news painting and decorating is mostly done and the place is feeling properly like home. Especially now we've got round to putting up most of our pictures and artwork!
