Hi Guy's, I live in a Three bed mid Terrace house and I need a complete rewire. Can you tell me roughly how much it is likely to cost from an electrician with all the necessary certificates. by the way what Certificates should i be looking for? Thanks for any advice. Gillie
Hi gillie pointless saying the price as some dork always comes in ridiculously low...no offence to you....get three quotes The certificates you require are the BS7671: inspection and testing certificates and consist of Electrical Installation Certificate Schedule of Test Results Most good electricians will do this anyway. One is NOT valid without the other so make sure you get both RSS
incase you meant qualification certificates it is generally accepted that City and Guilds 236 Part 2 is a minimum standard of competence...ask to see this (not a photocopy) if you are unsure..also if you want try NICEIC approved and also get confirmation or ECA approved RSS
PS - Gillie - you probably should in all fairness to the electricians point out that the cable they will be removing will be slimy and smelly.
Nice One ban-all-sheds. you have been paying attention. Yes that is the reason for the rewire. Cheers mate. gillie

Its always good to get a recommendation from some one who has had work carried out by an electrician, most good electricians rely on this method of getting work.
