Good Old Delroy, he gets all the best Jobs :)

[Mikegh]

He seems to be doing ok on this job

I hope he remembered to turn off the electricity

 

[Dustydazzler]

Them council flat rewires are a nightmare , I have done a few but honestly 99% of the time I will turn them down and ring Del to do it instead

I'm sure he said at the beginning of the latest re-wire video... that the tenant wanted it re-wired. I just hope he's cleared that with the landlord !

PVC twin&earth old colours , wonder why they wanted a rewire, dont make sense.
All cables coming from above easy job to raise up to new heights etc. Doubt all them cables are shot for one minute, waste of time IMO.
Section board is a pain hate pulling it up.

I use these with chipboard/plywood floors... at £2.50 per hole.. not cheap, but they save so much time/knees/swearing etc etc.

Have seen one of the YT sparkies using these looks ok, but I would be hesitant using this without asking the client first, core drilling and putting in inspection/access holes everywhere.

Annular ring nails...
nightmare!
Plug cutter over them, lift boards off, cut them flush.

Agree

You could probably get away with a partial rewire in this instance and just the extra points in where required.

I hate these jobs with ring nails and chip floors, absolute nightmare.

The last house re-wire I did I posted a photo on here where I used a multi tool to cut some hatched in the chip floor then had to batten around the joists and put new ply traps back in. Thankfully that particular job I had allowed the extra time and budget to purchase sheets of ply board to cut up and 2 x 2 batten

But often i come across mutilated chip floors all hacked with a recip saw and the chip shoved back in all rough and wonking

Delroy has been improving lately

I believe he's been reading some of the feedback and taking it on board

Is he the best celebrity sparks out there now ?

You think???? WTF is a celebrity Spark. A waste of space as far as I'M concerned, celeb spark my backside

 

[Dustydazzler]

Del is 100000% the best celebrity spark on youtube , no one even comes close

Bundy is probably the next best after Del

When you’re comparing to some of the others, he probably does come out tops…

I think if any of us had the b*lls to put our own work up on YouTube, there would be someone in the comments that said “that’s not the way to do it” or “ gees, look at what he’s done there”…. Or in my case… “get off the internet, you chubby, balding w**ker!”



Edit: I don’t know why it censored “worker”??

Del is my first choice, Rupert second he is so eccentric.
As for Bundy he will always survive out there bashing away on new builds if he needs to.

[Mikegh]

I don't know how I feel about all this celebrity sparks business

Delroy is very near the top of my list right now

I suppose as long as Dustydazzler keeps firing up these videos the debate will continue

His post make me smile anyway laugh more to the point, if you bare comparing your work with his you nee to take a second look cool

 

[Dustydazzler]

I can't remember exactly but I am sure it was either Artisan or Chris aka the Plumber who made £2500 from one video alone

That sort of money is not to be sniffed at ...

I wish Delroy would come clean about his qualification's, training etc, all we know is that he picked up the trade from somewhere, he might receive a better response if he he would explain how he become a Spark or maybe not.

Wondered what was up with Rupert as he hadn't posted anything for ages, but see that a few recent videos have gone up. I like the guy and I like that he takes on all manner of work - makes for interesting viewing.

He started on 'The Council' wiring council flats
