I was recently asked to go and quote for a full rewire of a 3 bed house in my local area (Bristol). I went there today to have a look and the customer said they had already had one quote but were worried that it was a little bit steep. Around these part a basic rewire of a 3 bed is being done for around £3500............ well the quote they had which was for a standard rewire (white plastic accessories) in a empty house was £9500! This was following a PIR the same company had done which stated "Needs rewire as does not comply with BS7671",the house is 35 years old of course it doesn't comply with current standards, it was not even an that bad condition, defiantly does not NEED a rewire although defiantly recommended if they want a fully up to date standard of property.
The bottom line is that this company produced a PIR showing the property to be unsafe and then massively over priced the work required, no wonder the general public think we are all trying to rip them off!
Makes me sick.
