    Tools used when rewiring domestic property.

    Thanks I will ask to look at the quote and plan tomorrow. I suspect their plan was get in and get out quick, not all of the workers were even wearing masks!

    Tools used when rewiring domestic property.

    No but I expect it to be finished to a standard where we can paint it. The plasterer hasn't even polished this off. The video posted earlier showed much neater channels. Even in these replies there are different standards. These fall below mine.

    Tools used when rewiring domestic property.

    SJD these are some of the (allegedly) finished chases! Midwest what is a CDM risk management? The contracts manager is coming tomorrow to look at the mess.

    Advice on plug socket covered by bed

    Advice on plug socket covered by bed

    Hello I'm not an electrician but wondered if this site gave advice on domestic electricals? It is regarding a double plug socket that is not recessed into the wall and sits just above the skirting.
