Hi all
I am having an extension done at the moment. Everything gets reshuffled inside the house so will be rewiring all rooms. I am planning to run cables in place and put back boxes myself but get electrician to install main board and all the sockets once plastering is complete. I studied as electrician in college and was working for 2 years but left industry about 13 years ago. Since then I am doing AV (Audio, video, lan) installations for living. What might be the difference in price if I'll get electrician to do the whole lot against the second fix. 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and open plan kitchen with all appliances washing mashine, dishwasher, oven, hob, fridge freezer. Down lights in kitchen and standard lights elsewhere. House is empty shell at the moment. Couple electricians I met on site (in London, I live in Northampton) saying it is £5000 on average to rewire three bed house. Is it really that expensive? Will electrician sign up for second fix only as I will need a certificate for building control?
