Was speaking to someone in wholesales who reckons him another spark and mate have been rewiring and second fixing in an 8 hour day!

Thats either bravado or it's going to be poor poor quality and against the regs

*bloody iPhone put requires instead if rewires

i have. trunking through ceiling coving with gaps round it i could drive my van through. brittle patresses that shatter every time a hoover collides with them. ruff.

Yep, coving trunking used alot in bedsits were they cant run the cable through the floor or ceiling. They run the cable in this and then chase down the wall to each point. YT2 was used for the run to the lighting points. These rewires were done in 1/2 a day. 7
But as tel says the gaps in the capping was shocking!!!! Every one I inspected, I pulled it for this.
Not a pretty looking job, but does the job.

I would be hard pressed to do anything in a day
but then I am old !!
I used to first fix in one day on new properties but no chance of doing it all
although if you have a good team and the right kit it could be done

In my post code alone they rewired over 200 houses, each one done in a day. There were also over 200 done in Keighley.
I kid you not......

I went for a job about 3 years ago, working for a large firm who had a contract with Leicester City Council doing rewires, that was all in surface trunking and accessories.

I have no doubts it can be done, and probably has thousands of times over the years. I don't believe for a minute that it can be done well, or completely tested and signed off though.

It's horses for courses really, I wouldn't want to work like that but that's not to say others can't.

I dont doubt rewire in a day i bet they put 5 blokes on it but can't see how they do it correctly
and the floor boards I bet are wrecked, as you enter that house it must be chaos
