I've just moved into a new house & the building survey suggested that the electrics upstairs were pretty old. I had an electrician round who had a quick (eg 20 min) look & agreed with this & said that re-wiring would be needed in the next few years.
Having moved in a couple of weeks ago we've found a few other things we'd like done, so I'm going to get the electrician back to take a closer look at the niggles & the re-wiring.
The electrician is a friend of a friend so I'm not really worried about him ripping us off. However I've never hired an electrician to do anything significant before so I'm not sure how to find out how whether he's any good or not (I know that he worked for BT for years until last year).
Does anyone have any suggestions for intelligent questions to ask or ways of finding out whether he's recommending us a good solution?
Thanks,
Michael
