Flat Re-Wire

[Gaj1]

First real post:
Doing a complete re-wire on a 2nd storey flat. Was orinially a large 1850 house and has been converted into 8 flats.
Flat is big, 3 bed, kitchen, bathroom, lounge, dining room. Area roughtly about 170sqm.
Walls are lime plaster (2-3" thick in places), some walls are solid concrete plaster. Most switches/sockets/JB's and rewirable CU oozing the green gunk. Some sockets still wired in lead wiring !
20 Sockets, 5tv and cat5 sockets, 8 light sockets, 11 wall lights, 5 pendants (surface mounting cable on ceiling (12ft up!)) + standard kitchen setup.
All sockets and switches are new chases (using hammer and chisel as my sds seems to demolish the existing plaster!) at reg heights, wall lights 6/7ft up and have all been sheathed.
No access to flat above or below so all runs under floor lifting numerous boards, drilling joists ang noggins and fishing/drilling behind high skirting.
This has been a dog of a job, So far its taken me 11 days (3 of which there were 2 of us.)
Have yet to 2nd fix, put new CU on and remove old cabling - suspect another 5 days for this... totalling 19 man days for the job.
Reading the other posts on re-wires it seems excessive .. is it ? Would be interested on your thoughts.
Cheers

Basically, they are getting you to do all the "sweaty" work for £10 per hour, then giving you grief for being too slow....
Sounds like a great deal
