For arguments sake lets assume it is a 3 bed semi with normal pendant lights and normal socket numbers and the house is lived in by a family of 4 people

I can't see any that mention snagging ?
We did have one minor fault which they came back the next day and fixed promptly.
Any small issues he came back and sorted
He had to come back on a couple of occasions as the lighting was not as expected
I would maybe find your own plasterer as there were some concerns over the finish
and even if they did , 4/5 snags over 73 jobs ( around 60 of which are rewiring ) ..Id say that was pretty good !!
On the contrary, of 24 jobs reviewed over the course of a year, there were problems with four of them, that is 17% of jobs carried out for which you received a review. That of course doesn't include jobs where you didn't receive a review.
I'd say that's pretty bad IMHO, I just hope that 17% of jobs with problems you have to return to sort out isn't representative of your wider customer base!
My company has carried out hundreds, maybe thousands of pieces of work (ranging from changing light bulbs to rewiring factories) and now I've had a moment to think I can remember only three occasions in my whole career where I've had to return to a job to sort out an issue of my doing or the doing of the guys who carry out work under my logo.
I must make it clear to you that I'm not sitting here accusing you of carrying out substandard work, however what I am saying is that it is entirely reasonable to expect that someone who carries out work at such a fast pace to run a higher risk of creating problems and/or missing problems that arise compared to someone who works at a steadier pace. I would even go as far to argue that this is almost indisputable.
Imagine you are driving down a road looking for a small signpost indicating a turning that you need to make, you are far more likely to miss that sign doing 60mph than you are doing 30mph! A simple fact of life my friend!
I think you're knit picking to be honest...common snags for us are things like an old socket not removed behind a sofa or similar
Anyway if it gives you further evidence and piece of mind that our rewires are not up to scratch, excellent knock yourself out.
Well that's never happened to me?! It just goes to prove my point quite succinctly about missing things when working at speed! If you're working fast enough to miss a socket you're supposed to be replacing then you're potentially working fast enough to miss a whole range of things that you can't afford to miss!
I never said they weren't up to scrach per se, I said you run a higher risk of them not being up to scratch! I've never seen one of your rewires so I cannot comment on your workmanship, if you read my post again I did make this point very clear.
What was a genuine thread is going down the toilet, Sintra/ Marvo I am the OP, close this please.
Yeah you haven't seen our rewires so stop trying to suggest my workmanship might not be unto scratch
Personally if I had someone come into my house and knock out say a kitchen re fit as an example in a couple of days . I seriously would be questioning the quality of the work , I think most people having work carried out in their property would feel the same , more so for electrical work as it should be carried out to set standards and regs.

I haven't! You seem awfully defensive for someone with nothing to prove!
