Hi fellow sparks. Just started a rewire at mo 3 bed house. Not my usual business tbh. Far and few. Just after any advice into people's routines and methods for efficiency. I'm sure the lads that do this day in day out know some tricks of the trade!! I can't see the light at the end if the tunnel and it's only day 1!!!!
 
Exactly how I've intended buddy. Day 1 chopping and boards up. Routes mapped. Tomorrows cable pulling. Appreciate the advice!!
I take it all these day 1 day 2 etc are in an empty house, wouldn't be able to do that in an occupied dwelling

Yes pete. Properties empty. I just questioned my self and time scale as you hear of these sparks rewiring occupied houses in a couple of days. It's just me and a young lad. Literally his first month at electrical work.

Cannot think of anything worse,than an occupied ,full rewire...need full unhindered access,or nowt.

Did a job years back,at a retired judges property,where he and his wife,sat at the kitchen table all day in their bath robes,reading dozens of newspapers,whilst 12 cats marched about,putting their feet in and out of every cup,bowl and pan.

Never got offered a brew-thank the lord...and he paid me with a money-order,which i had to ring me dad,to find out what it was.

There was no repeat.

Surely if you have no experience , then you could not meet a competent value required , i would guess you would fail regs however long it took you and it could well be dangerous result. Is it worth that when you could get it done for around 4k-4.5k with certification , if its still worth the bash take out quality life and building insurance

I'm an approved sparky mate. I know how to rewire a house electrically and I'll be signing it off too. Just don't do it day in and day out. The routing side of things etc. Been more commercial/industrial side. Was just curious to people's methods. Everyone does things slightly different. Somebody may suggest a more efficient way than myself. Always one that pops up with the sarcasm. I'm still willing to learn everyday and take on board others views buddy.

There was no sarcasm in my post just truth , maybe you should have worded your original post better , no mention of you being in the trade , in fact you say no your normal business , and then asked for advice , maybe if you had made any experience you had more apparent people would not think , hey up its the bread maker going to rewire his house , having said that i do nearly only Domestic electrical work , over 40 years Domestic , last week i got asked to put in 4 3 phase sockets , i still knew what to do , regs etc, so i stand by why if your in the trade you need to ask , as it just gets done when it gets done , especially as empty , no sarcasm was meant just honesty as i read it , and if you read original post from out of the box maybe you will see looking in its now not how the situation looks.
