The cost does depend on your local council. I could probably justify it on my own place because the labour would be more than the certificate. If you have the qualifications it's tempting to forgo the bullshit and easier to ask for forgiveness.
Airhead-
Yeah, my local council (harringey) sub everything out to a local contractor so £325 a time for a certificate. When thorough 16 and 17 edition qualifications, through ex employers so that I could identify that work was done correctly and was correctly certified. Suppose that is what you need when you employ the cheapest bidder and they then sub out to the cheapest person.

Am just chatting. I liked split load board so the lights are on one circuit and everything else on another. At least the lights stay or the plugged in lamps.
With the electrical regs, it is not worth me touching the fuseboard. If I have to pay someone to certify it will be the same as if I paid some one to do the work. So might as well get a tame sparky to do the work when he slack so at least my money goes to a mate. But then my sparky mates are always busy.
The LED ghost current needs further investigation, the light fitting is three spot light arrangement but the one of the three positions has this problem, just annoying that it is a bedroom light.
