Best advice I could give would be to check if the porch is tied into the existing building, if it’s been built properly then it should have a wall starter kit or the older screw ties. This can be checked by running a metal ruler through the gap and you will feel the ties, they should be every 3...

Hopefully I’ll have more pics to post on here next week when i get the keys so i can explain it clearer. I’ll be honest mate i was hoping to terminate some sockets as the main bedroom has 6 double sockets in it and it’s not exactly a big room so it’s unnecessary in my opinion, kitchen is the...

Just my luck to buy a house that needs a new roof, new windows and now finding out possibly a re-wire

Just thinking about saving time and money, only have a few weeks turn around until we need to move in and the spark i know is a busy one like most i assume so trying to kill two birds with one stone. When you say second fix electrics is that just connected up the sockets or is there testing...

Thanks for the advice mate, i wasn’t going to run the cables via skirting i was going to run them under the floorboard and up to the new points but I completely understand what you are saying. I’ve got a spark lined up to install the new consumer unit, I’ve also been given two 100m reels of...

Thanks again for the advice, there is some new cable in the property (where it has been installed with trunking) but according the the survey there is also older but I don’t mind getting it replaced with new cable while I’m there. Hopefully such an electrician exists and won’t be insulted when i...

Thank you for explaining that mate, really helpful

no lift in the property mate, probably a stupid question for you but why is the water supply bonded?

Unsure what it is as I can’t read what he has written in the top right corner but something along the line of “under bath” Was hoping someone could tell me what it is. Not got the keys yet to check under the bath but no electric shower so not sure what it could be.

Here’s what’s in the property now

This is what I assume is the original fuse board, i was getting a spark in to replace with a new consumer unit, i presume that will have the relevant rcd’s & mcb’s so that the sockets i install will be protected? Thanks

don’t really know any sparks so hopefully i can get some advice please. I’ve just bought a house and all the sockets aren’t sunk into the wall and the cable is the same all ran in pvc trunking around the whole house. Looks like there’s been a rewire as mostly new cable’s but i want to chase them...
