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

That's a conversation I'll have with them. If they are happy for me to and can point me in the right direction with a lump hammer and a bolster, I'll crack on. But if they prefer to do it and it wouldn't save a massive wedge, equally happy.

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.
