Can you get someone else to certify it?
The electrician is kind of a mate but not really…
This doesn't seem like it should factor in at all.
Similar thing for us - electrician did some work in Feb/March, said he'd come back after we'd finished the kitchen to do last job and certify it all. He put us in touch with a builder/plasterer. Said builderer delayed months and months and we've gone with someone else, sparks won't come back.
Trades.

Those who will remember my shit builder… another conundrum has presented itself.
The electrician, who I have paid £££ for various things and recommended the builder, has not been paid £1400 he is owed for the work he did and materials.
I didn’t need building regs for the work (replacing kitchen and bathroom, minor stud work) and have an email from the council saying this, which I have saved. I am expecting an electrical certificate for the kitchen and the bathroom. The electrician won’t send it until he has been paid by the builder. I have paid the builder 90% of the job, but have told him i am not paying the rest and asked for some back to cover damages. The builder has told the electrician that I haven’t paid him.
Not sure what I can do. Electrician was employed by the builder, so regardless of what I do or pay, the builder needs to pay the electrician. I think I need these certificates really….
He won’t send the minor works certificates until he is paid. But he has submitted it all to building regs, who he said will send me something.

Not sure what to do at all
