Discuss Can I get away without a full rewire? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi Pete - before I go any further, do you have a website or somewhere I can check your credentials?
Are you proposing a full electrical report - if so, what is the cost please?
Or, are you offering to come and look and quote?
Might be best if we had a chat at some point?
Therein lies the problem Sarah, I am a retired Electrician, you can check my quals /experience etc, via my profile on the Foeum.
I understand you need to be careful, as I am bot registered anymore it would be difficult for me to notify the work yes I could give you a certificate but being unregistered would be expensive to notify Building Control.
However my thoughts on the visit was to offer advice, not do any work, I wouldn't expect you to pay for the visit just doing it as a favour to a Forum member, feel free to reject offer no problem with me, the offer is still there regardless, just let me know.

No, I mean, Does it suit you, and more importantly are you insinuating I'm a cowboy? as I take exception to that remark. Try to help someone and there will always be someone there to put the boot in.

sarah, pete999 would be a godsend to you. he has no vested interest in making money out of you, and if i read his post correctly, he's prepared to give you sound advice without any thoughts of riping you off. pete is one of the most experienced and respected members on this forum. i'd swear that the world was flat before believing anything bad aboout him .

Just make sure the drinks cabinet is locked up :)

Only joking. Pete’s a well respected member, retired. Perhaps he’s suggesting he would take a quick look, and offer advice?
Yes exactly my intention

I will gladly second that , Pete is one of the most genuine people I have ever come across.
 
He likes his tea, Earl Grey. Hot.

yes. Pete’s a good’un and he could probably scope more info about the electrics just visually than some others would need the best part of a day to come to the same conclusion and ultimately say the same thing.

Goes without saying.
