Nice place, I've worked there, it certainly is in need of a revamp though.
Adam, out of interest, as it may be happening shortly, very roughly what should I be looking to pay for a total rewire, all after the meter, for a 3 bed detached house with solid downstairs floors? It would be just about empty and no worries about decor as it will be having a lot of walls skimmed over later.
If it makes any difference it is out in the countryside in Cheshire and has a very good pub with an excellent restaurant within staggering distance.
>2K for a basic starting price with a one man band - depends on the spec.
Probably 2.5K with a bigger firm.
Perhaps you could moonlight on this job while you're there?

There will be a few oddities, but nothing serious, like all RCBOs and not MCBs :-) . That gives me a good starting point, thanks.

How long do you reckon the job will take, then?

Just had a look at that, and the bit about 'bits kee falling off Buckingham Palace" put me in mind of a visit to Lisbon last week. We went here:
+1 for an all RCBO consumer unit..... I give MCBs and RCDs a wide berth now...... :-)
Bit of a hike to a decent boozer, though. ;-)
There used to be a free pub for the staff.

Just visit a suitable cellar surely?
I presume the old wiring was done in conduit. How reusable that is, who knows

Limited, I'd say, since so much will be altered/added.
And the conduit may be wood or rusting steel. Maybe they need someone that can do a specialist job using the existing system - otherwise a lot of historic & palacial decor may be badly damaged.
