Hello everyone... first... I am SO THANKFUL I have found this forum I cannot tell you. I have just bought my first house of my dad (lives in a nursing home) Now dont get me wrong.. its mainly in a great condition and I got a BARGAIN! BUT... I think I might need a rewire.. I have an old style fuse box in place... (no trip swtiches and beleive its the original from circa 1970) almost all the bulbs in the house blow frequently and occaisonaly the circuit for the plugs will go and I have to change the fuse. I am mainly concerned from a safety aspect and I am not going to even attempt to this myself in anyway. I am just making sure that I am savvy enough for when the quotes come in to do the work that I am not being scammed.. I get it all the time from builders where they assume.. young.. woman... on own.. therefore idiot.. boils my p**s frankly and I like to know what I am dealing with. I am assuming I will need a rewire and new box... if so... and assuming the house is clear.. any idea of maximum for a 5 bed 2 bathhouse near Grimsby? THe house is detatched and 2 floors. Also! .. how much disruption should I expect? replastering needed when wires pulled out? Am I better off moving out while the work is done?
I realise this was an epic of a topic but I am so grateful for any help whatsoever from people who know what they are talking about.
Much gratitude in advance
