Im currently doing the donkey work ie running cables for the ligh
switches and Sockets for a complete house re-wire as all the wire have currently is lead encased stuff which runs externally and look awful. I have a friend who is a qualified sparky and he says to cu down costs this is the best option (he is doing the actually wiring o the consumer unit etc). The quotes I got were astonomical and im no prepared to pay that much for someone who won't give a toss about ho they do it, at least im gonna be doing it more carefully.
I need some advice from you guys as you are a 2nd opinion as to how i doing. See the attached pics of some of the light switch boxes which have chased out and placed new 1.5mm Wire in, the regs state that if am 50mm deep it is ok to depense with protection do you think this wil make the re-plastering easier also?.
will post some more pics soon as Im about to tackle the ring main next.
Basically Im doing 2 lighting circuits and 2 ring main circuits spli between upstairs and downstairs
