Either to people living there are tramps or the workers really shoddy . That company needs to really think before posting videos that make them look terrible

1:48 that chase looks like it is between the light switch and a socket, not in any zone but that is where you save time rather than having 2 chases

2:33, all the cables are run under the floor just notched into the board rather than pulled through holes drilled in the middle.

Its not too bad considering its done in a day but clearly corners have been cut where it will not be seen..

I have seen a few of their vids on the past , they send a bunch of labourers in at about 7.30am, who smash out the chases , rip up all the floors etc.

Sparks comes in about 9 to pull cables.
Plasters come in about 12 to back fill chases
Sparks comes back about 3 to do 2nd fix and consumer unit
Everyone leaves by 7pm

If you had 3 labourers , 2 sparks and a plasterer you could probably mash out a basic 3 sockets 1 pendant per room very basic rewire in 11-12 hours

I remember a time 4 of us did an ex council house in 4 hours. (Give or take an hour for the captain to finish testing the board)

We were actually rewiring the whole estate, all the remaining council houses. Nothing new going in, and everything was in pipe.
Every house was identical, we knew exactly where everything was concerning access boxes for lights and sockets.

One of the owners that bought from the council wondered how much it would be….

This was a long time ago. Before the need for extractor fans, smoke alarms etc…. It was a bish bash bosh easy Saturday morning. Cash payment, pub by 1.

As someone who is very reserved about what he doesn't know, i don't like to talk myself up. I always wonder how people who are so crap at their jobs have so much confidence to put themselves forwards like this when everyone can see how shoddy they are. Fake it til you make it i guess.

Dont understand why people are surprised, its called house bashing in full swing too.

My old boss would have loved this team back in the 80's, we done hundreds of council houses and flats. we did drill the joists lol.

They provide a service which very few companies can provide in tight timescales so he does have a big advantage in the domestic rewire sector.

Let’s be honest, not many of us would do things the way they do it…notched joists etc.

They get over the cables not ran in zones by putting it in the departures on the certs…NIC seem happy with it as long as it’s noted.

Jamie pays very well, the sparks are on around £1500 each a week. Hard graft though.

Does it really matter what NIC think though? The workmanship, adherence to best practice, treatment of the customer's property etc is absolutely disgraceful. They're impact driving the CU together!

I reckon they say to the customer - to get it done in a day while you're at work we will cover nothing, put nothing back, do no cleaning, etc but i bet they don't say that they're cutting corners in terms of the actual job.

To put this so brazenly on youtube as if you're doing a great service is bizarre.
