Discuss How not to standard is this rewire? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Tbf I would’ve paid more…but I got 3 quotes, 2 being £3500 & the third was this fella who said he could get it done in a day for £3150 - said he puts all his lads on it which is why he can get it done so quickly - but thought this was around the right price with 3 people quoting it.
No RCD trip times but all the test buttons operate???
No IR results.
Arc fault protection on EVERY circuit.
That certificate is as dodgy as the wiring.
 
Short circuit capacity of supply fuse 100KA.
seems like a made up number to me!
I am suspicious about some of the other test results, they seem to good to be true.

Obviously my electrical knowledge is minimal so I just assumed everything was right - I’ve had a plasterer in already 🤦🏽‍♂️ Is there a way to test everything rather than having to rip everything out again?
 
Exactly what I thought when reading the OP and wondered if they work in the north of England?
The 1 day Re-wire guy from Scotland him and his team appeared to do work to a reasonable standard , a bit rough when it came to chasing out walls but I don;t remember seeing him bury connector strip in the walls and under the skirting boards

The 1 day re-wire in this thread looks like it was done by people who just didn;t give damn
