Full rewire - Avg terrace

Roadhousezamora · Dec 22, 2021

Morning everyone, I've posted a few times but I'm new here and thought I'd see if there's any interest in me doing this...

I've recently purchased a property (Avg terrace) and I'm looking to do a full rewire on it. Ive done the domestic qualifications and have completed rewires in the past with another spark but this will be my first go at doing this alone.

I will be approaching building control to have my work checked and will be getting an isolator fitted to the below setup before I disconnect everything and fit a temporary board.

Is there any interest from perhaps more inexperienced forum members in me documenting this as a thread over the coming couple of months?

It's worth noting I won't be living there so this process won't be the quickest as I will be taking on plenty of other aspects of the renovation alongside the electrical work.

Anyways if there isn't a lot of interest I will be more than happy to pull the thread but I just thought I would test the water and see.

Cheers everyone...

Oh here's a pic of my starting point...

It can unfortunately vary by council / area. Some will do it but charge quite a lot for the service. Others simply don't engage.

If you end up in that camp the other possibility is doing a search on Napit's website for someone offering third party certification (TPC) in the hope there's someone local who is willing to discuss plans, inspect first fix, 2nd fix and do the required paperwork.
A quick glance suggests there are a few signed up to do TPC in your area. But you may find that not everyone ~~conned into buying~~ signed up to do TPC is actually willing to do it.

I will chase it up and see, I do have someone I could approach who wasn't registered to sign off third party work last I spoke to him but he may have taken that on since. Hopefully BC will get in board and it will be straight forward. From looking through their docs they are offering a service relating to electrical work however whether they actually play ball may be another story entirely as has been mentioned above
