    3 bed house rewired in one day including testing

    I completely agree! It shouldn’t happen on a new rewire. BUT until they get pulled up on it, they will carry on doing it.

    3 bed house rewired in one day including testing

    @CamoElectric What i was getting at, was that if NICEIC are happy with their working practices and their use of the departures box on the test cert, why would they change their ways of doing things? Also if you watch some of the more recent videos, he actually offers the customers a service...

    3 bed house rewired in one day including testing

    They provide a service which very few companies can provide in tight timescales so he does have a big advantage in the domestic rewire sector. Let’s be honest, not many of us would do things the way they do it…notched joists etc. They get over the cables not ran in zones by putting it in the...

    Best consumer unit

    Fusebox gets my vote, it’s all i fit now. Loads of room even with normal height rcbos.

    Wall chaser recommendations

    Metabo with the 3 blades! 20mm oval conduit fits perfectly in the chase.

    UK Pricing

    A quick estimate. I would probably be around £1400.

    Angle drill for joists

    I have the Dewalt one. It’s great! I only use it on speed 1 as 2 seems too fast and less torque. Happily drill 25mm holes all day long. Had mine nearly 3 years

    Work quiet at the moment?

    I have booked them in for the last few weeks of August so i can invoice them on the 31st (Friday) ready for the following week when funds are available. Obviously, unlike yourself, i am not in a position to do 7 weeks work and not get a penny.... Rather earn a bit each week to be honest.

    Work quiet at the moment?

    I had a very quiet spell about 6 weeks back, luckily, or unluckily, my mate bought a house that needed a full rewire so i have been busy with that. Mates rates and me (very) underestimating timescales has left me, not out of pocket, but a very undesirable day rate! I have been in my own for...

    Caddy Maxi v Transit Connect L2

    I have had my Connect L2 115 for 2.5 years from new. I like it, i would probably have another. A few things niggle at me, the middle seat is a waste of time really. You wouldn't want to have 3 adults in there for more thsn 5 minutes. More importantly, when pulling away, whether it is from...

    Newbie PAT

    PA Testing can help fill gaps, you probably wouldn't charge a call out fee, more along the lines of £50-60 will give you an hour and 20-30 tests, over that and you can agree a price per item or hour. I just charge a day rate to be honest, never had anyone complain and everybody comes back...
