Hager do a very nice kitchen grid switch in stainless steel, and it comes with a complimentary matching saucepan. Glass lid, induction hob safe, because its delicate its packed with no end of plastic and cardboard and its a right job to get out of the box. Time served electricians know this, so next time your foreman enquires "Where have you been", tell him you've been "knocking your pan out". He'll know what you mean.
I think home rewire epitomise the term house bashing. To me he comes across as a cut throat business man rather than a spark, especially so if the liquidation facts are correct.
Wouldn't want him anywhere near my house, and most of my customers would faint if I did that to their houses!

Shocking if you ask me! Race to the bottom, playing into cheapskate landlords hands that is. I would rather re train as a lavatory assistant than work for them. If you dont value your time, and speed is the most important aspect of your work and you enjoy smashing peoples houses to bits and covering there beloved belongings in dust then this is the route for you. 1/10!
I remember him. He was on here for a while mainly talking about 1 day rewires. He sounded like a decent chap then and also in the video clip.
He works hard and does an acceptable job.

Yeah I wasn’t disagreeing that....apart from the odd cable chased out of zones.
You can see from some of their vids, that some cable routes take the easier routes across walls (& some out of zones), rather than the slightly more time consuming concept, of taking up floorboards etc.
As said before, even with several sparks, doing a rewire in one day (in some if not most typical domestic property), is a big ask. Some corners will need cutting IMO.

Well that was a decent read….
Fascinating listen back to all the critics with no clue…
The electrical industry is full of negativity and criticism, usually from the same folk who complain there is “no money in the trade”.
I’ve experienced it from day one in business.
Usually from the same few folk who complain improvers are taking their jobs, or painters make more money.
Time to look inwards.
Things are going well now for HomeRewire, we do around 8-12 private rewires most weeks, and have several teams….
Yes I lost a business aged 29 with 40 staff, mostly down to late payers and being too young.
It was probably the best thing to happen to me in all honesty, and the making of where we are today…
Thanks for your hearsay and gossip, it gave me a good laugh today.
Happy Sparking ?

You know, by posting on a 2 year old thread, you’ve just brought it back to the top for everyone to read the “hearsay and gossip”
I thought the comments were 70/30 on the positive side.

Some people like eating crap fast food, some dont. Some like rubbish cars. some dont. some work to very high standards , some dont. Some clients want a job well done. some obviously dont . Its possible to earn money doing jobs like this . many are doing poor quality work just to make coin . But dont stand too proud about it !

MArket forces dictate the standards of work ?
Say I quote £8K for a full rewire , allowing 2 weeks , all good gear , all good workmanship , all fully tested etc etc
Customer says £8K is too much and can't afford this so goes with local builder to do the wiring instead
Builder comes along saying he can do it for £4K , sends a couple labourers in to lash in the wiring and slings it all in , nothing in zones , all rubbish cheapo materials from poundland and no testing and no notification etc
Customer gets what the pay for
One day rewire spots a gap in the marker for 1-2 day rewires for £6K
Reasonable job , middle road materials , for the most part good workmanship if just a bit untidy
In fairness there probably was and still is a gap in the market for cheap fast house rewires
I did one a few months ago and it was a pain in the arse and to be honest i swerve them where possible

The only time this would be possible is in an empty house, no furniture or carpets, and it was getting decorated afterwards.

Twin disc wall chasers and decent dust extraction units have made a big difference to the speed of a 1st fix rewire.
When I started out in the 1990s it was chain drilling using a 7mm sds hammer drill and then lump hammer n bolster. 2 full length chases and twin box per hour. Then spend the last hour every day cleaning up a mountain of dust and carp. It would take 2 full days to just get all the chasing in done on your own.
Today you can probably do 5 or 6 chases and boxes per hour using a twin disc cutter and box sinker.
With minimal rubbish to clear up at the end of the day and minimal dust to sweep up. You could probably do all the chasing of a standard 3 bed rewire in 1 very long day on your own.

Indeed. Did you see that thread the other day where the hob was covered in plaster dust and a trowel was just left on the top of it?
But then it takes time to cover things up I suppose. I wonder if the homeowner was advised that half their stuff would end up covered in dust and scratched?
Greta will be after you. Wash your mouth out.

She is more than welcome to come follow me round and suck off all the dust left after a day off wall chasing
pretty sure its not that Greta they are on about....
Anyway... i think she said she "vant to be alone"
