Electricians and plumbers working together ?

[wwwebber]

I'm moving into a refurb project soon and will need a full rewire and a full central heating system replacement - including all plumbing.

Can I have both done at the same time ? can the two trades work side by side without getting in each others way too much ?.

let me know what you think - thanks.

Yes, as long as they are aware of the fact they are to be working together so one doesn't turn up to find the other in the way. You never know they might end up helping each other

or fighting for the same space and slowing each other down.

why don't you ask them how they feel about it?

Look the solution is simple.

Just make one rule......

Tea breaks for plumbers will not be at the same time as tea breaks for electricians.

That way for half the day the plumbers will be working without the electrians being in their way and for the other half of the day the electrians will be working without the plumbers being in their way.

How big is your home? will it be realistically possible to fit two over-inflated egos in there at the same time?

Get the turd touchers in first then get the sparks in.

It does work

The plumber comes in and pulls up the floorboards

I put in my wiring

The plumber puts the floorboards back

Simples!

Unfortunately sometimes they do this:

Sometimes do what?

Take tiny photos that don't show anything?

Fixed it!

fixed what exactly?

OP get the plumbing done first as the electrics don't need to be straight or flat. whereas the pipework will be better if straight and flat as much as possible.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

That's better.

You should have let them do their bit first - that notch in the top of the joist would easily have taken your cables as well.....

 

[Taylortwocities]

fixed what exactly?

I linked in a picture that didn't exist. It does now!

BAS, the cables had apparently been there for a year before the plumber added his bit.
