Sounds high but depends on quality ov finish. Are they going to lift floor boards or more likely cut them to lift sections. Lot ov wuk to do if replacing all wires on a full rewire. Peeps under estimate just how long it takes. Down ere in the civilised world yer looking at 2k5 for a 3 bed semi wiv normal plastic sockets, ferra full rewire. Praps gerrin near 3k.

As part ov the rules down ere the council have to be advised ov wuk. Partial or full rewire and change ov dist board requires council notified. Same fer window, external door and heating boiler change. All has to be done by qualified person. Yer can't get away wiv yer squirrel doing it then gerra qualified spark in to sign oft. A lot do but its on the sparks back if there's trouble. Tis why a lot won't sign oft others wuk so there's an option ov paying the council to inspect. They send a known contracter in. And job protection ov the trade is why some won't touch. Some treat it like a 10 year inspection and say nowt about rewire. There's no way a spark will lift floors to check joints ain't bin drilled/cut to thin and cable terminated rightly propper like. They should know if they didded the wuk themselfs. They limit non qualified squirrels to chsnging sockets and switches only.

If the house is empty and no floor coverings then its a dream job as yer can access anywhere. No furnature int way. Can drop cables into plaster wiv no fear ov decorating cost problems. 4k would be high. 7k5 they seem yer bags ov free cash.

The lekky dude has called the lad next door & said he has local jobs an would like to keep local work... if he booked today
he will take a grand off the price. So he knows he's priced it high.

Finking about it squirrels would be good at rewires as they can gerrunda floor boards easy if yer lift one and wunt have any trouble wiv loft insulation. Take the seeling rose oft and pop him frew the hole. No messin at height. He'll climb the wall to get to outside lights. If yer up a ladder and drop a screw he'll nip down and gerrit for yer. Wondering if eye could train mine to clear gutters. Would make a nice little business. Shame they can't do windows. Mine need cleaned.

Could tie a rope onto him & flush him doon the bog then pull him back up to get yer drains cleared.

Its the death of the householder that electrocuted himself by feeding one room from two sources and only switchin one source off at the board.

I shouldn't laugh, so I'm not doing, but in our kitchen the power sockets above the work top are on one ring main and the ones lower down on another. The ones in the utility are on the same ring main as the kitchen upper sockets. If you don't know this it is easy to get it wrong. It has been this way since the house was built in1984. So wired by a "pro" for Crest Homes.

If said householder did this himself then he should have known what he was doing.

 

[Stanleysteamer]

Is that you at Gretna for a special event??

Tis further than that to Gretna I think.

Saw this today. Nice looking tow truck indeed.
He said he’d do all you tratter drivers a deal, due to the potential volume of work.

At least you’ll look cool for a bit, when yer getting yer tratter towed back for anuvver welding session

This weeks freebees......

A curved lightbar & a fully charged dewalt battery.
All the base coat/render/beads/stone chippings for my garage (delivered too)
The stones are mixed coloured white sandy brown ect so id I need to paint it white once finished but all that gear is expensive.
All houses here are painted white cause its a conservation area.

Very happy chap indeed.
