Completion Certificate

[Worriedboy]

I have recently had some building work on my house, by having some pvc cladding removed and replaced with brick on top of the existing wall and vertical tiles where bricks could not be used.
I had several quotations by local builders all of which are not vat registered and said that planning permission was not required. Adding several other properties near-by had already been done in same manner by different builders not requiring planning permission.
Now I need a ‘Certification of Completion’.
I’ve been told because of a builder is not vat registered, he cannot issue a certificate.

Because other projects in the property like new kitchen, bathroom and furniture etc.
Equity was taken out for other purposes besides above and they are asking for the certificate or work Warranty/Guaranteed of the building work.
