Hi, The grout has failed as far as I can tell. Thanks Craig

I read that and I shouldn't say this but I laughed! Bet he's spent £1000s doing that and got nothing at the end of it. I want this do be done right and last. The plan is to be able to sell the house in a good condition within 2 years or maybe longer depending on what is decided. I've...

Thanks guys! I'll get a spark in soon then, although I don't think they'd appreciate if I called them on a bank holiday between Christmas I suppose. I know some are saying get a PIR done but I think for piece of mind and the fact I have the money now I may aswell get the rewiring done as...

Hi All, Id did put this in the building section but I now realise that was the wrong section, so here goes again. I have a problem, the tiles in the bathroom next to the shower/bath have come away and the water from the shower has started leaking down the wall, soaking the plaster. The...

What plastering is required? As all I can see in the house I have is 2 wall lights that probably would need plastering in and the switches I assume? Although I still don't have a clue how and where the cables go to the second floor so I suppose thats a lot of plastering too?

When is the best time to do rewiring then? Is there any part of the year sparks are quieter? Like heating engineers are quieter in the summer and double glazing fitters in the winter etc? I am also trying to arrange to stay in an empty property owned by a relative but I am unsure if they'll...

I'm actually planning something on that front, might be able rent somewhere for a month. The only problem is then where to put the dog...

But its atleast 25 years since it was last done and to what standard we don't know without ripping up the floorboards. So with me having the money to do it now, I am thinking I may aswell have it done...

Yeah, we are going to live in it. Unless it can be done within a week and we could stay in a hotel for that week.

Hi All, I'm fairly new here so please be gentle with me. I am currently in the process of bringing my house up to scratch. I am planning on a rewire and central heating too. However we have 1 problem, the tiles in the bathroom next to the shower/bath have come away and the water from the...

So if I set £3500-£4000 aside that should cover it right? I just want a bog standard rewiring to be honest too, no need for TV points and such like all rooms either have Freeview with an aerial or Cable anyway. I am hoping that I can get a few jobs done in under £20k, need new kitchen...

I've just been on NICEIC's website and found 2 on there that are local. I assume to be on there they'll have to be on their trustmark scheme?

Thank you. I've been looking on the net and on here about horror stories. So I intend to get someone that knows what they're doing and is qualified/registered to do it. As I don't intend to spend this amount of money and not get it done right and up to standard! I really don't understand...

Hi All. I currently live in a 3 bed house built in 1958 and we've lived here since 1987. And in that time we haven't had the house rewired. Now, I have a bit of money set aside for some home improvements and one of the things on my list is a full rewire. The wiring in the house looks to...
