Saw on news they found old newspaper and cigarette packaging from queen victorias reign. apparently some of the cabling is still in use from back then! no wonder they are replacing it.
I hope Her Majesty has checked the electricians are part p approved mind and she gets her certificate at the end of it, don't want to come on forum next month to find Elizabeth from Windsor asking about getting no certificate for the works on her home in London!

They can’t really complain - it’s got conduit for all the runs, Still, I get that it does get classed as a ‘live in’ - let the banter begin!

 

[Spoon]

Well I'm truly surprised Phil didn't come one here looking for advice to do it himself. Maybe he's holding out for when Liz wants Nest / Hive / Honeywells effort.

 

[telectrix]

good job they didn't employ Carillion then.

I bet the sparks rewiring that place want be dancing around with the furnisher and moving carpets or moving granny Clampet from room to room.

 

[telectrix]

how dare you refer to our queen as granny Clampet? granny Clampet was much prettier.
