Price rewire 3 bed (customer to chase)

[Engineer54]

I wouldn`t cement the backbox chase up....just foam it....and smokes/heats off a lighting circuit......

What happened to the good old trusted rawplugs and screws then??

 

[GaryM]

Drywall adhesive sticks like **** to a blanket and just so happens holds backboxes firmly in place when required when you find nothing but a hollow.

we were discussing the of the perils of letting the customer doing the chasing himself and leaving a dirty great hole in the wall with nothing to fix a socket box too

[londonlec]

Ill hold my hands up to it too

2 x 1" x 8 and red plugs, or a bit of foam. I think I know what will pull out first.

 

[GaryM]

1" screws and red plugs? Go the extra 0.5"!

 

[GLENNSPARK]

I'm impressed you've noticed that!!

 

[telectrix]

well i think you're a bit too cheap, by about £300, especially if you've got to make good his chases.

 

[trev]

Or if you have posted a load of these"what would you charge" threads you should be able to do your own homework now

 

[SPARTYKUS]

I never use red plugs, I go BROWN :tounge_smile:

agree re: drywall adhesive great stuff, never used foam though.

I have used adhesive (as a last resort!!!) before, found some amazing stuff on the tinterweb , I think it's boat building glue in a pipe, that really is evil stuff, if you get that on your hand it isn't coming off this week. Its the gooey-est, stickiest stuff ever imaginable, you could stick bricks to the ceiling it's ace. AG Wood care is the web site.

p.s. price sound about right but I hate people doing their bit first to try and save a bit. Just says to me "alarm bell" there will be trouble later
