Last rewire I done the landlord hadn't got rid of all the furniture like he was supposed to and the carpets were being replaced.......left the apprentice to break the furniture up and lob it out the window on to the front garden then Stanley the carpets up which also got lobbed out the window whilst I went down the cafe with the other sparks :eek::D
 
Exactly how I've intended buddy. Day 1 chopping and boards up. Routes mapped. Tomorrows cable pulling. Appreciate the advice!!
I take it all these day 1 day 2 etc are in an empty house, wouldn't be able to do that in an occupied dwelling

Yes pete. Properties empty. I just questioned my self and time scale as you hear of these sparks rewiring occupied houses in a couple of days. It's just me and a young lad. Literally his first month at electrical work.

OK thanks for getting back
 
Hi fellow sparks. Just started a rewire at mo 3 bed house. Not my usual business tbh. Far and few. Just after any advice into people's routines and methods for efficiency. I'm sure the lads that do this day in day out know some tricks of the trade!! I can't see the light at the end if the tunnel and it's only day 1!!!!
 
Cannot think of anything worse,than an occupied ,full rewire...need full unhindered access,or nowt.

Did a job years back,at a retired judges property,where he and his wife,sat at the kitchen table all day in their bath robes,reading dozens of newspapers,whilst 12 cats marched about,putting their feet in and out of every cup,bowl and pan.

Never got offered a brew-thank the lord...and he paid me with a money-order,which i had to ring me dad,to find out what it was.

There was no repeat.

Surely if you have no experience , then you could not meet a competent value required , i would guess you would fail regs however long it took you and it could well be dangerous result. Is it worth that when you could get it done for around 4k-4.5k with certification , if its still worth the bash take out quality life and building insurance
