£500 for a full rewire in 3 bed property

[Wilko]

Hi Edmond and welcome to the Forum!
You've made a grand entrance to the place with those pics, but oh dear - Poor homeowner !

The most depressing & scary thing about this is that the Cowboy who done this left that job with no compassion whatsoever to the dangers he has left to the client.

I doubt he had any understanding of what he’d left massive....

OMG!

Sure it's not the homeowners attempt and now he realised he's fecked up blaming it on a £500 sparkie?

I expect he used this piece of work to gain membership with NICEIC. Who would see nothing wrong in it. Or maybe he is already a member? Is that Polish I see written on yonder cable?

 

[buzzlightyear]

the question is was the spark that did the job was he the builder has well .looking at the state of the job like no plaster boards on the ceilings .

if i was the op i would send them
pics to watchdog on behalf on the customer .by the way has the op fallen asleep reading his post .and did not reply to the threads .

How can anyone with a brain believe they can get a rewire for £500?

Dunno, but they do. I once recommended a rewire in a property with no cpcs in lighting and rubber cable all over.
"Ooh that sounds expensive, what are we talking, about a grand ?" Said the well educated home owner.
Property is a large 5 bed semi over three floors on the most expensive street in our city.
My mate actually let out an involuntary "Ha!" When he gave us his idea of an estimate.

Listen...i for one,am not going to condemn this installation...until i see the test results...

Sadly a lot of that could have been covered up . It is just as well that it has been discovered.

And this is precisely why CPS "inspections" should be conducted on ongoing work ...........

Probably worse than it was before he started the rewire

Any pictures of where they tied their horses up?

They came in Caravans Mate, pulled by Mules.

I wonder what they did with the old wiring, I bet they wade that in .
I wonder if the op client has still got his rad pipes in .
