[quote][i]Originally posted by Root[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by chloe16v[/i] yes there is a srur off a spur off a spur, an god knows what he has done outside, their must be 10 sockets on the side of the wall that looks like they may have been used for xmas decor but didnt look into where they went, their must be some wiring going up the garden to the special potting shed as well :lol: [/quote] Oh right, in that case, remove the last 2 spurs. The first spur can stay and is legal (if you want it), I'd have your fella wear some safety boots and get some insulated screwdrivers and remove the excess sockets. Obviously they are outside so don't pose much of a fire hazard, but it's still an illegal circuit and is still connected to your consumer unit. If the house has not been rewired in the past 25 years, it's reccommended that it's done anyway. Removing wiring is a shitload easier than installing wiring (as for the outside xmas decor). I've only done level 2 electrical engineering at college, but I've had on site experience with qualified sparks, I've read a lot of books and "fishing" for wires if a nightmare. Removing wires is far easier than installing new cables so if you're unable to remove the bodge wires, call in a pro. A rewire on a property in my area is typically around 2k. If residents live in the property, you can expect to add 1k to this, simply because of the hassle of moving furniture etc, takes time from the job. You would NOT beleive how much hassle it is to tell residents to move their bed because you need to lift up floorboards. I don't think a property on the market needs a rewire, so you should call up sparks in the area, asking them to remove illegal wiring. They should not charge shitloads because it's fucking easy. Unscrew screws, remove cable. I'd say £300 from a good spark, get some quotes. Fuck, if you're close enough, I'll make the installation safe for £30 (plus any neccessary materials but I don't think there's any needed). [/quote]
