amount of sockets per room

[CSP2012]

Have I been missing something? I have just had a reply to squire which says I'm the best price etc... However the other electrician has quoted for 4 sockets per room to comply with part p... Maybe I've been doing all my rewires wrong...? Or is this other electrician just trying to pull a fast one to push his price up..?
Thanks...

OUCH!!! there's 2 extension leads behind our bedroom TV. 1950's house had 1 socket (single) per bedroom. now all 4 bedrooms have 2 doubles in each. still not enough, but suggest chasing walls to 'er indoors, and it's sleep in the garage for a week. :drummer:

Only a week?.....you lucky, lucky b......!

Doing a CU change in a 1960's house today, 1 socket per bedroom, loads of extensions every where.

3/4 per bedroom is about right.

I'm rewiring a house for us at the moment and we have 4 x doubles in the smallest bedroom and 5 in the bigger rooms. 2 x 2g behind the TV!

That said as for "socket numbers to comply with Part P" - utter tosh

Like I said 3 twins in beds is normally enough and always at least 2 behind tv.. Sky box, tv, DVD, games console at least.

Just finished a through lounge and put 11 double sockets in, 4 behind the tv alone....

Well .... its all down to room size and the table in the OSG

And what do you recommend you'll get back even tho they plug it in 1 each corner unless specified. But no right or wrong.
