I see circuit tracers priced from $25 to 1000s of dollars. I guess that the cheap ones won't do. I can find the circuit breaker. I want to find where the NM cables run inside the walls and perhaps ceilings, so that I have some hope of finding where it is mis-wired. So all I need is a tracer...

I was recently asked to go and quote for a full rewire of a 3 bed house in my local area (Bristol). I went there today to have a look and the customer said they had already had one quote but were worried that it was a little bit steep. Around these part a basic rewire of a 3 bed is being done...

1 landing, 3 in main bed, 3 in 2nd bed and...

Any one know of a good source for reasonably priced regulatory docs?
