  • 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.

  • Floorboards, mostly. I suppose it all depends on what the spark says. Plan is to get them in to quote for a CU replacement but also say we want to discuss a rewire (from previous advice here, one might rely on the other). Then see if they recommend any circuits over any others or if they insist on the whole lot. Then see how liveable it would be or if we need to move out for a bit (difficult with an 18 mth old and two cats who will need settling in).

    It's also a case of what do we do with all our shit. If it has to be shuffled around extensively, then we hold off unpacking. But then if it's not going to be done for 6 months, I don't want to live out of boxes for too long.

    I'm sure there's a balance somewhere.

  • I would say it depends how happy you would be to live with the disruption and also what the sparky says.

    The CU will probably be the easiest job of the lot.

  • Oh also - are you carrying out any of the work yourself? Or is the sparky doing all the chasing in too?
