Hi,
I am currently have a re loft conversion done my bungalow, so removing the current loft conversion and doing again.
Just had a call from the conversion company re the downstairs lighting circuit, removing the current loft has allowed access to the currently lighting circuit, the electrician claims its a mess and wants to rewire it, cost £550. So this is to rewire 6 rooms, each with a pendant light.
I queried why this is needed and received the response its a mess and there are lots of junction boxes.
Does this seem like a reasonable price to everyone? Not sure whether to go ahead with this.
For that price should I be expecting new cable everywhere (I would think so) but then he wont be able to rewire to the switches as they are in plaster.
Any opinions gratefully received.
Thanks
Neil
