Reckon rather than quoting for the addition of a shed, you'll need to be quoting for a rewire.

But before you do, ask customer if they will be living in premises if it is getting rewired.

If I am to do the rewire I will kindly request them to take a couple of days holiday to allow the work to be undertaken, they have 2 very eager and lively young boys and however much I will like/love to have some help, I will probably pass on that.

As this look like is not going to be just an evening or weekend job, I think I will pass to friend who have more time to deal with it.
I have a full time employment and therefore I might struggle.

A couple of days??

A couple of weeks for an occupied house.

Thanks Pete, your concern is understandable and varied, I will say am qualified but never experience the above situation and hence i asked the question.
It will be rude to the forumiat just to ask the question to test their knowledge unless I disclaim it from begining.
I have never class myaelf experience or qualified enough as I always have room to learn more or improve myself knowledge hence asking and orotecting my dignity instead of rushing to advise.
All in all i take your point on board, i was taught to alway respect and listen yo elders.
Thanks

Are you going to take this work on your own or with someone that is experienced? just think that as you have not undertaken this work before in someone else house it would be more beneficial to you.

 

[telectrix]

why is everyone jumping on rewire? are cables VIR or PVC? any testing of circuits done? OK a shiny new CU with eaerthing and bonding upgraded. pre=tests will show whether or not a rewire is needed.

f88king hell ,now the dogs are snapping at is eels .

 

[telectrix]

WOOF. WOOF.

 

[Toneyz]

So what did you suggest regarding the shed?

 

[Toneyz]

Would have thought the best advice to the person doing the cutting
would be to switch OFF first, and prove dead, prior to cutting, but then again I would pull the fuse first.

It's like the teacher marking for spelling mistakes with this red.

not part p then !

That too, however the company I work for are.
On this, time constrain will be the main factor.

As I initially didn't know about the Mems isolator I told them, I won't be undertaking the shed project until the hoise bit is sorted, however he said he will be talking to his friend who install his cctv and he will let me know.
He also believe the house elecytic were done 3 year ago before buying the house and the wife have all the the certificates.

Spot on telectrix, they are PVC from the point I could see.
I also mentioned maybe we can start with EICR to get direction of the next step.

Definite with somebody else, most possibly handover the job to them.

2 weeks is about right when you have to roll up carpets, shift furniture, cut flloorboards etc.

I agree, I do have standard too. I said that to my manager, he said provided is on for less than 45 deg on the wall he don't care. He need a quick turn around.
