    What to expect from getting house wired with cat6

    You want to use something like iPerf to test the link. However this isn't going to be anywhere near as good as a proper test using something like fluke test kit. But the question is if you find a fault are you going to get the electrician back in to rectify? and will they be able to rectify...

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    I was more concerned about the kitchen supply as the other sockets I'm going to be putting cat 6 in place so will be doing some work in their area, however I may now ask for a price again because I can't see them being able to justify £550 for 3 double sockets?

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    Already exchanged :( so would be set to lose around £20k!! I've asked about just having the 32amp supply in the kitchen and they've come back with a price of £200, which makes you wonder if the original price of £750 was correct? Would you say £200 is reasonable?

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    I've spoken to the site manager and his default answer for anything asked out of the norm was no. I want cat 6 to run my TV system, basically it's HDMI over 2 x cat 6 cables so every tv has to have 2 cat 6 points. All the kit then sky box, playstations, media server etc is out of sight and...

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    They could run the 32amp supply to the kitchen and add 3 double sockets for a small sum of around £750

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    They're not prepared to do anything outside of the norm ie if it's not on the list it's not happening. So won't run the cabling, won't put any conduit in, won't even leave draw wires in. They were particular about the electrics too could only go in locations that are on the list, I want...

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    Thanks for the replies, I'll contact a few local electricians and explain what I'm trying to achieve so I can rule out who might be prepared to help with this. House has only just had roof on so still a few months before completion. I will make sure the electrician views the cable runs before...

    Running Cables and letting sparky install

    Hi All, New here so apologies if this is in the wrong place. Basically I'm purchasing a new build (by Taylor Wimpey) and want to add various electrics, such as fused spurs, 32amp outlet for hob, a few double sockets and a proper supply to the garage. TW can do most of this but want to...
