  • Thinking ahead again. Anyone ever "lived in" during a re-wire? Obviously it would be better if you could get out, but that could be tricky, depending on when we do it. Also, I know some sparks won't consider it unless you piss off for a bit. Wondering what the two ends of the scale are in terms of interruption.

  • Friend has just had it done and was quoted something like an extra £1.5 if you wanted them to do it live in and would take longer, it is about as messy as job can get is massively slows things down if they have to clean up every day

  • Yes. I was living at my folks when theirs happened. Iirc it made no difference in terms of electricity if that's what you're getting at(?).

    Everything was chased and layed then switched over one day while we were all at work. If you're both still WFH then you'd probably want to mitigate for that day.

    Obviously there was a fuck tonne of general building work going on, which is what it is. Idk what that would be like with a little one and what you're tolerance is like for disruption. Personally I don't find it that bad and think people are too precious, but equally I understand that some people do genuinely struggle with discomfort and disruption.

  • It depends whether you're talking about floorboards or solid flooring as far as I'm concerned.

    Mine was carried out while living in the house but it was somewhat more accessible due to floorboards.

    Still a shit load of mess mind you.
