It's typical if this is the rule for a tradesman to refuse to sign off on work, or charge you a high fee to do so.

And this is because they are accepting liability for that work, I would charge a decent fee myself.

The amount of liability they are taking on is not that great. The fee is usually close to what the job would have cost.

In any case, it means "you can do it yourself but..." is pointless.
