UK Rewire - One Job or Two?

[nicebutdim]

the agreement was for a full rewire - to me that's everything and going by the price, as they certainly quoted for it, even when you add in "it's the goverment scheme so lets add 30% tax" levy - but they just didn't do it.

If the work was carried out under some government scheme, surely there will be a system of checks and balances in place.

Then again, government in Scotland seem to be about as diligent as we have here in NI.

Well it was a full rewire of the circuits serving the domicile. It is just that the storage heaters are sometimes separate from the house wiring sometimes even belonging to the energy provider. This should maybe have been clarified at the start. What does the documentation show? I hope the tariff thing is not lost on you?
If it was me depending on the situation with the storage heaters, I would have made clear this contentious point. Perhaps get back to the installers?

Thing is – it apparently cost 3 grand – but it’s only a two bed flat so I’m struggling to see where the money went as another neighbour had their 3 bed house done for £1800 in 2019. (I’m in Scotland so things are a wee bit cheaper – or at least they were…)

£3k is probably a little bit expensive for a 2 bed flat, but then £1.8k for a 3 bed house is too cheap and I'd be concerned about what corners may have been cut to get the price so low.

How did the scheme (whatever that was) get involed, is this a rented flat?
And was any other work done financed by the Scheme at the same time?

Has anyone seen the invoice for £3k ?

Pretty common for lights and sockets to get a Re-wire and the Eco7 circuits usually storage heaters /water heater to remain left as was.
As for the price of a rewire it csan vary and the standard of work can vary a lot
