Hum ............ Reading between the lines I think this poster is after some desperate spark who will come along after he's chucked more cables in and just sign it off.

Good luck with that.

If so, he should post the job on MyBuilder or Rated People. Then he'll be spoiled for choice.

If I was close to the job I'd definitely consider it,take a look and provide a quote, the ceilings being down makes is so much easier, let's have a bit of positivity just for a change !

no.

As per my previous post, a live in rewire will cost you more; it will need more sparks on the job each day. I suppose with the ceilings down, it will be slightly less hassle.

Its not a job I would of taken, working with just myself. Whoever does it, gonna take some working out what the other sparks did, and tidying up the mess he made, no offence meant.

You can try this web site, get three quotes from different companies;

Thanks Dave.
I thought this forum would be more helpful.

To answer another question, Building control is required for many of the renovations I am doing to the house, which is why I involved them from the start. I am a single parent to a handicapped daughter and when I was made redundant I sold up and moved (downsized) quickly so we wouldn't lose everything. I knew of most of the work required, but didn't expect the mass of junction boxes I found when we dropped the ceilings. Hence the rewire.
When I sold the last house I incurred lots of extra costs and delays because of small upgrades we made which hadn't been LBC sanctioned or done by tradespeople who didn't provide a certificate. I know better now.
I have been quoted £3250 by someone who, when pressed, said he could probably do the job in a weekend, but he would book in an extra evening, just in case. I consider that extortionate, and it's why I'm here.

Well you seem genuine to me, good luck and I hope you find a decent and honest sparks to sort it out properly very soon.

Alarm bells ...

weekend
extra evening

then it'll be

cash payments
no receipt
no certificate

I would you recommend you ring around your local sparks ........ and see if anyone is interested

I'm sure you'll find someone OP, £3250 isn't a huge sum for a 3 bed semi rewire, just for info. See what comes out in those quotes.

 

[stuarth]

A weekend and a evening to do a full rewire

must be a drive by install
