    Advise please on a new re-wire

    Its all pretty much academic now anyway that I have received all your advise, thanks to all. And end of day regs havent been broken as such so other than what was quoted I guess customer doesnt have much recourse. I think I will end up tyding things up for her as it can not be left like that...

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    Im not so much arguing about the cost here, Im weighing the cost against the workmanship. Is that £4500 worth of work? Really? I personaly only pocket £100 a day after tax now I appreciate self employed have many extras so yeah 4.5k I understand AND accept. But for that work? Thats clearly 2...

    1500 for materials? Nowhere near that, they provided no light fittings and few switches/sockets. Was 3 men on site for 3 days.

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    Im still waiting to see the documents with my own eyes, they certificated the install on completion bit Ive not read it yet. The home owner would not have known anything about the requirements other than she said she was just getting it re plastered. The home owner was unaware of any issues...

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    I had made my mind up yes that it was 'terrible' because it is. I will be honest and say that I had 'expected' most people to say it was because 'it is' lol. Its just not standards Ive ever come across in my history but admitidly I rarely see house re-wires any more. The advise is of course...

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    I have a friend who does domestic wiring unfortunately he's not local to me, I've taken his advise as well and hes gobsmacked by the workmanship and hes never seen such poor finishing. I was just surprised by it tbh. Any way it is what it is by looks of it, a rip off.

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    The plaster would cover just the cable but with the clips or the capping which is used in some areas for some reason it makes them flush with the surface of the plaster. As I say its more around the cost and what was expected for that cost. The customer has now got to get either major plaster...

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    Thats the whole point, they ARE NOT below the level they are flush, they CAN NOT be covered unless the whole wall is plastered to make it thicker but theres coving installed. 1584771922 I have to say Im gobsmacked at the comments who see little wrong with this install. The level of workmanship...

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    The confusion of it all doesn't help. 1 person says one thing but others aren't so sure to agree. I thought the regs weren't meant to clear up issues not create them? Lol

    Advise please on a new re-wire

    Hi all, I would appreciate some proffessional advise on a recent re-wire my friend has had. Im not 100% up on regs for domestic property and also sure about workmanship practices but I know this is a bad job. I want to go back to the contractor but Im gathering some 'truths' first before I...
