poorpeet Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 When I applied for my cert the first time the whole process only took 3 weeks. Now four years later I understand It can expect a lengthy wait. So my questions this. How early, before it expires, can I apply for a renewal? I'm in Kent if that makes any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berretta77 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Can depend on your location but i would give yourself a couple of months minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorpeet Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I was thinking more along the lines of 6 months if allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Give them call then they can tell you exactly when they need it by I think they also send a request through the post but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Do they not send you a reminder, something along the lines of 10 weeks before the expiry date?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berretta77 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 When i had my home/cabinet inspection last year i was told that they are stopping any renewal reminders,wether that is just my area or everywhere im not sure,but as what Dominicrobed said i would give them a call to make sure you give yourself enough time LOL Chrispti got in before me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta06 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I work away a lot and knew I was away on the date the renewal was due, so my FEO agreed to let me do the paperwork when I was in the UK on holiday last. Paperwork and visit was done 5 months before the renewal date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
