But thats major work and a (council property?) so yes it needs checking. But if “joe public” runs a new socket he should get it checked unless he/she/other is competent. It’s the competent bit that has probably prompted the new rules;). J

Arrived, 230 miles at 70/75 and showing 43 mpg Happy with that 🙂

:vb-weyes: :vb-groan2: That should be in the joke fred:p. J

Wow! That depends on the house I guess, but that sounds way over the top. Used to be you could DIY and then call the electricity board to come and do a safety check. Nowadays everything has to be NICIEC certified (or whatever has now...

Done a crate of beer this week all ready will need to get extra if this temperature carries on , or get fizzy water 😕

Depends on the number of out lets each socket is normally £35 then if a new board with trips depending on type but with a rewiring more work is involved floor bords lifting chasers and plastering?

I know when Manchester council for my inherited house for my mother at the time. When they altered the shower for a walk in and later adding through floor lift + ceiling bed lift a electrician later gave us certificates for the jobs. Might be...

I normally put a drop of iodine on and thay let go but that one had got it's head right in deep would not let go , we put tick shots on the cat perhaps I should try it 😕

I am lucky to get to 70mph for long enough to even try and measure it :D. J

Wow get 40 out the defender at 70 mph 😮

Yes and no. It seems a little gray area to me. I have also rewired houses, and am confident its ok. but that wouldnt stand in the UK now. But 🤔. Probably yes if they knew🤔. We have had to get electrical "safe" certs for our rentals but they...

Dust pan and brush to clean it up then and wash the walls down He can smell you need to rub the trap with composed

Got her rats mixed up with her hedgehog 😗

Don't you have to have registered certificates now for rewiring. Especially if selling the property later on.

I ain't no expert but have done loads of domestic elecs for myself. Assuming 2 days for a spark and a mate, £1000 should more than cover the labour. Add say another £1000 for materials and profit. Total 2 grand.

Its a bit of "how long is a bit of string" We dont know how many sockets/what type, how extensive is the rewire. New fuse box new scokets+boxes, access (floorboards up?) 2 days work sounds like the house is pretty gutted. I dont know the prices...

So does just getting the certs cost £5k? Fink its illegal to not be certified.

What price do peeps think it would cost to totally rewire a small 2 bedroom house. The house next to us has been sold & for 2 days work to rewire it he's been quoted 7.5k :oops:

Morning All. :D Still here (it seems). :) I was making some axles for a friend out of 15mm Silver Steel round bar yesterday. The end needed drilling and tapping at M8. Gosh that silver steel is tough. Very hard to cut the thread. Got to work...

Mornin Drizzle early on but brightening up Not be needing factor 50 in Scotland by the looks of it 🤔 Got me tools in the boot and a brolly, goin round to GF's to pick up her bags then see if there's any room left for mine 🤣 Should be heading...
