How long does it take you to do a Domestic rewire?

[MDJ]

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

Here we go again.....

People are forgetting how Im marketing my business and how Im selling our service. I market as an "rewire specialist" ....when people come to me they are not expecting a regular electrician.

The Maths again for anyone struggling ......365 less weekends = 261 days. I WAS rewiring almost every day for 10 years with a company..so starting at 19, that equals 2610 rewires. Then factor in all the weekends I did over that 10 years and the rewires Ive complete with JRC....thats where I get my figures....Dont believe it ? who cares the people who matter do.

For clarification basic rewire includes Shower/Cooker/2 Rings/2 lights/heating/smokies and bonding. Ive never claimed my basic 2/3 day rewires have emergency bulk heads,individual freezer circuits ,lutron lighting, hdmi ports........Im sorry but when advertising Im under the impression you offer your best case scenario to attract customer. To me thats simple business marketing. "we can rewire your house in 2 days but if you add extras such as hdmi ports we may take 4 days" just doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Ok so JRC have done 3000 rewires may not be strictly true but considering how involved I am with my current rewires , to the extent of still doing all the dirty work, I think its fair to say the key man of JRC and the man who will be in rewiring your home , has experience in 3000 rewires. I don't think my customers would be to concerned with that comment.

Since Im genuinely defending my claims and making no attempt to pull the wool over anyones eyes despite how far fetched you may think they are, I don't think its fair the way my posts are treated. People are not genuinely questioning my claims but offer a blinkered opinion on how its impossible.

JRCProperty,

Just admit you were looking for cheap advertising via the forum. You’ve been exposed as a charlatan by your betters. I was going to say your peers but you don’t warrant that accolade.

I find it amusing you state on your site “member of several sites” if anyone follows that up it could lead them here. You have been your own worse enemy by exaggerating your business. So now you find yourself with detrimental but honest comments.

Trading standards may be interested in your misleading claims.



Mike, I apologize for diverting the thread.

Its post like this that are damaging and totally irrelevant.

Im still genuinely defending my claims and welcome and questions related to them. Peoples assumptions about my business are purely speculation an you have no proof that Im not doing as I claim. For this reason, Im going to ask does anyone have an objection to the threads being moved to the electricians arms ? Im perfectly happy to continue any debates but as there is no evidence of either sides claims, I don't think its fair its in the public domain.

Yes sorry !

So any objections ?

 

[GMES]

It is not for me to make that decision, but on that subject I would like to apologise to MDJ, for his thread being hijacked this way, he started a good thread and it as gone down the pan, so I am going to keep quiet now.

Yes, I object, it would then take it out of the public domain due to access restrictions.

Likewise, maybe we should start a new one LOL.

Well thats the idea ....Im asking as courtesy....if need be Ill take steps to have it removed.

 

[uksparks]

I'm quivering in my boots...

 

[Guest569]

Thought you were keeping quite ?

Four directorships and a recently sold business at 31 ? ...Have you nothing better to do on a sunday morning ? If anyones talking **** its you.

I wish I read your profile sooner ...you are "quite new to the trade, slowly but surely building up experience" and "lesser experienced than some"...lol what gives you the right to question my work ?

Completely ignorant....your new to the trade ...that means you have little experience, so stick at it , maybe you will get your rewires to 6 days in a few years. So tell me how long have you been a UKspark? Ive been in the trade for around 13 years....its it not basic logic that I will be better and faster than you ?

As we both agreed in PM its best we stop, you didn't stick to your promise.Sorry.

Edit - You have done plenty homework on me so Ive done some on you. Im sorry but your posts relevant to mines suggest you are an established experienced electrician. You suggest your opinion is made based on experience in particular how you rewire houses. Im sorry mate but reading some of your other posts throughout the forum suggest the COMPLETE opposite.

I apologise mate but what am I to do ? I can't let people slate me at every opportunity, I think it will be deleted soon. Shame because a decent topic which has been ruined by arguments I thought were already put to bed.

 

[MDJ]

I apologise mate

Accepted

 

[uksparks]

I have been doing this nearly three years to be precise. I don't deny it, I have never suggested I have been doing it longer. As you can see, my profile is honest "quite new to the trade, slowly but surely building up experience and lesser experienced than some". Its true and accurate.

I'm not even going to bother commenting on the rest..

l'll let you go you own way now, you stick to your 60 minute make overs and ill stick to my 10 day long and drawn out painfully agonising rewires due to the lack of experience and understanding that I have.

I'm not an enemy! It wasn't me who bought it back up.

You do not have enemies here mate and I apologise again as I did in the earlier post.
