They need this guy on the 1 day re-wire squad
I don't know mate.... I really fear for that property too if it's a real thing.I was going to ‘report’ your post @Andy78, not to the mods, but Historic Scotland. Can see them making a right pigs ear out of that pad, in just a week, or is that a wind up.

If the 1 day rewire squad can do that listed building in under a week without destroying all the original features , ceilings and flooring I would be rather impressed...
My only hope it that the original install is all in conduit that can be re-used.
Assuming 5 day weeks and normal holidays 6000 rewires at one a day is just short of 26 years doing rewires not sure you could keep going at that pace for that long
Looking at the video it looks like it's a very basic rewire with not many points and to have the plasterer in at 2 and be all finished before 5 doesn't quite ring true having done 1 day rewires many years ago too many people / trades start to get in each others way
Didn’t they go into liquidation as it was JRC property solutions before?
^^^ Agree, doesn’t matter how you look at it, corners have to of been cut, to get it done in a day. Why don’t they use double the amount of staff, they could do two a day!
Be interesting to see below the surface; bet none of the old wiring was removed, what was the loft space like, no thermal insulation, suitcases or Xmas trees to slow them up, etc etc
Excellent points and well made. I'm afraid speed isn't my game - I'm more interested in quality.While I was working in a top-floor flat with my apprentice in Glasgow last summer, this company turned-up to rewire the flat next door. I noticed several non-compliances concerning cables not being installed within prescribed zones and not being clipped anywhere in the attic. This is how they can do rewires in one day ..... by flooding the job with bodies and by cutting corners. But in today's "I want everything done yesterday at the cheapest possible price" marketplace, this particular business model is always going to reap big rewards. One thing they have got right though is their pricing structure. Some of the cut-throat pocket-money prices that get submitted for rewiring jobs in Glasgow are unrealistic.
Home Rewire's unique selling point is speed. Mine is quality. I emphasise to potential customers that a quality finish takes time, effort and care, and is unlikely to be consistently achieved when you're continually working at high speed under pressure. By marketing themselves as speedy and efficient, Home Rewire hold a competitive advantage insofar as those of us who tell potential customers that the proposed rewire of their new house (I don't rewire occupied properties) is going to take considerably longer than one day are made to appear pedestrian and inefficient by comparison. Clever marketing indeed if somewhat misleading.
Knocking you pan out for what?It’s good going, don’t know how it can pay for them mind. My initial baptism was in the form of council rewires, minimal spec, between three of us, one a day, five a week. Absolute hell.
Been through all that how fast can you work crap before mugs fall for it and the boss loves it. Boss is behind the scam.While the boss I freelance to who builds extensions loves my thoroughness the guys on the job are constantly ribbing me about my slowness. Offerring "grandad" as they like to call me, a wheelchair/zimmer frame (hehe) moaning "oh no we'll have to wait four hours now for him to finish!" (not true!) Taking the mick out of my combover as they call it. It is true I am not speedy gonzales I challenged them to second fix 24 sockets faster than me and properly and I would give them £50 if any of them beat me. No takers though..
Don't get me wrong they are good lads but wicked ribbers, ok if you're not a snowflake.
