This Organisation is the national body for electricians where you can phone for electrical installation regulations advise for domestic properties. Unfortunately you are left waiting for ages before an advisor will answer your query!

I Hope some one can help!!

Does any one know of the alternative number to the (0870 013 0391), telephone number for the technical helpline.
I have had no joy with this one, i am unable to give any further information other than the NICEIC is short for National Inspection Council Electrical Installation Contractors. They are based in London and Dunstable, but i believe the Techincal help line is based in London.

Sorry i have no further information on this, Hope some one can help ;

I can't guarantee this is what you're after, but it might help.

Googling for  niceic technical  helpline  http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=+niceic+technical++helpline&meta=   brought up a few, inc a BBC Watchdog link. However, the link didn't work, but this is the info from the google page.
London SE1 7UJ Technical Helpline: 020 7564 2320 Web: www.niceic.org.uk

Thanks for that, but unfortunatly it isn't the correct number.

Thanks for trying..

a very nice man, the phone numbers for that London address are now NU.

A check of the NICEIC website reveals that it operates the following 0870 numbers:

• Sales: 0870 0130458
  
• Consumer helpline and enquiries for Part P and building regulations: 0870 0130382
  
• NICEIC Training: 0870 0130389
  
• Technical helpline: 0870 0130391

The number listed in the database 0800 0130900 used to be for Part P enquiries, but obviously was costing too much, so they replaced it with the 0870. The 0800 now has a recording giving out 0870 0130382. :-X

Contact details are:
NICEIC
Warwick House
Houghton Hall Park
Houghton Regis, Dunstable
Bedfordshire LU5 5ZX

Tel: 01582 531000
Fax: 01582 531010

The telephone number is/was probably switchboard. However, it is now out of service (NU).

This page mentions there being more than 80 staff, so I assume that they've all got direct dialling in numbers, we're talking in the region of 100 numbers.

A Google of niceic 01582 shows some numbers.

• 01582 539700 is listed as 'sales' on some websites, and answers as "Technical helpline", as does the sales 0870 number.
  
• 01582 539516 is someone's extension at NICEIC
  
• 01582 539000 is National Quality Assurance
  
• NICEIC fax given as: 01582 539 090
  
• This page gives fax as 01582 601110

I've tried some numbers around the above and found nothing. 01582 539700 is the best so far.

Thankyou for your help, the (01582 539700) this seems to be the correct number, i was checking the 020 numbers and all the time it was in Dunstable.
Ill check again when they are open and let you know

Thankyou again, this will save some money.

Unfortunatly this is not the correct number, it switches to the sales office during the day.

I called the 0870 numbers (briefly) to find out what messages they answer with, so I could listen for them when dialling geographicals. The sales 0870 number does answer outside office hours saying that it is technical helpline, the same message as is on 01582 539700. So I think that this is the direct alternative for Sales.
