Generally speaking, a partial rewire where lead sheathed cable is present can be (and will be) very challenging. Once lead cable is disturbed electrical faults will be ‘created’ and would have to be disconnected from the new circuit.

Thanks for this:) we were told a partial rewire should be possible but that it's likely the lighting would have to be disconnected once the new board is in (as that's where the lead sheathed cable is). That's ok by us for now and we'd just manage until after Christmas when we would look to get the lighting done. :)
 
I think that's probably a fair price and good advice. I'm happy to take a look though and I'll be in Duns again tomorrow. If you look at my profile page on here you'll see my business name, stick that in google and you'll get my phone number. I'm not keen to put it on the forum!
