  • Hi all


    Thanks to the guy who suggested doing the labour myself I would have never have thought of that, for all the information on part diy house rewire, After googling cheap house rewire I found a part built website, sent a enquiry to them and 4 others asking about DIY house rewire, Only 1 came back.

    electrician came round next day and quoted me and I paid the 25% deposit then he helped mark out the chase lines and socket points,told me where to hire a chase machine he also, showed me how to use the chasing out tool.


    Came on the agreed date and was all done and finished in 2 days, YES THATS right full 2 bed house rewire done and dusted, fully tested in 2 days.

    Price was £800 including all materials and labour and Nic eic test £800

    All my lights now function correctly
