A complete house rewire where to start????

[Pete999]

Re-wire whilst 'living in' your own house with a family!
Best of luck! no right or wrong way, whatever way you feel best. As it is 'lived in', you may adopt a room by room approach but not easy maintaining supply to lighting and power along the way.
Send the family on a weeks holiday then you'll be able to rip out the old and install the new before they return!

I did rewires 3 days live in as well, what's all the fuss for, did it for nearly 2 years surface clipping with buckle cips.
Day 1 downstairs lighting up stairs sockets Bonding Cooker etc.
Day 2 Down stairs sockets, upstairs lights, Day 3 CU testing and snagging, easy peasy 3 bed Semi, 2 per week. no worries me and a Mate, simples. Monday till Sat evening, isn't repetition a wonderful thing? Forgot to add the kitchen was bare brick and was dealt with by another Mate whilst the rewire was undertaken, chasing capping etc, half a day for a decent Mate, so no big deal. Another add, Bossman did all the paperwork, we just did quick IR test.

I’m hoping the OP has finished his rewire by now.

Maybe optimistic, but in reply to @John clark ”leave well alone”, - that advice may be 18 months too late
