How long does it take you to do a Domestic rewire?

[MDJ]

For arguments sake lets assume it is a 3 bed semi with normal pendant lights and normal socket numbers and the house is lived in by a family of 4 people

Not done a rewire for many moons but 4 beds, 1 Electrician and 1 Mate mmmmm 1 week???

2 of us lived in used to take around 6/7 days

depending on stuff in house

 

[telectrix]

me and my lad, 7-10 days. and i have voted, before you slag me off. LOL.

 

[Guest569]

Ive put in 2 days, but my days are 7am till 7/8am for occupied properties. 2 men, labourer and plasterer. I wouldn't take on any job where the tenant is actually IN the house during work, thats just mental.

Here we go again

Does that include phones,sat/aerial, network etc

 

[Guest569]

no, basic rewire we are talking right ? Pendant each room 3 sockets each room 5 in lounge, cooker, shower, smoke alarms and kitchen circuits ...to me thats basic rewire.

I gave you a like due to the fact you keep coming back and to be fair you are a nice enough fella even though you talk bull. That said I cannot see your vote on the poll? I stuck a half day up there thinking you would vote for that haha, welcome to the site by the way, at least you can take a joke.

so 2 days at 24 hours a day ?

thats a weeks work for a mere mortal

My 7-10 days is for a void . You can stick a lived in one where the sun don't shine !
I have only ever been unfortunate enough to be involved in just a hand full of occupied rewires , and I take my hat of to any of you guys that can keep the customer happy !
Having said that I am looking at doing one for one of my oldest clients this year . It has been on the cards for a good decade , ever since we found that a lot of his VIR had started to chit off !
It is a tenanted farm house ( more like stately home !) and he will let no one else but me to do it , I had a meeting before Christmas with the land agent and my client , in which I pointed out that I will price for a 3 bed mobile home to be supplied and connected in the yard and for 2 x 40ft shipping container's as well .
I have not finalised the pricing yet but from first impressions I will probably be allowing , give or take two and a half to three months for a pair rising to 3 men at times , on that job !

Or..... he could mean he works between 7 and 8am that would make it 1 hour per day for 2 days so that's 2 hours in total!

sorry 7am-8pm...thats just normal to me. Admittedly when doing 3 rewires per week I have no social life and rarely see my wife !

I voted half day by the way ...thats 2 men a labourer a plaster and a 10 cans of red bull

Occupied rewires are murder. I hate them too but again we have rhythm and routine.

Recently (before my video) I invested in a hilti wall chaser with vac which helps. I use carpet protector over the full house if required and on worktops etc , dust sheets everywhere you can see and cheaper polythene dust sheets all tapped up..the place starts to look like a murder scene.

Proper carpets tools, hoovers, mobs you name it I have it. Its just about preparing..often Ill visit the customer the night before starting and do some marking out dust sheeting, moving furniture etc.

Its like anything, do it often enough and its second nature.
