why would you?

we joint own our house with my olds and as we are moving we are going to rent out this house. so we have decorated it to make it more rentable, it also needs some other bits like a sweep for the fire and a new consumer unit. so we took a week off to paint it and such and as of this morning it was mostly finished. got a knock on the door this morning from the sparkys so now it is being riven apart to make it comply. i'm starting to think my olds could not sort a p-up in a brewery. not happy.

I didn't realise youhad to rip out the wiring in order to rent out a house, though I've had conflicting advice, but my sparky just said I needed the wiring checked and he fitted me a new CU anyway because the old one was inadequate.

ours was on a fuse board not rcd so that was changed, the bath room light was wrong, there were 3 old round pin sockets that whilst dead have been removed, every light switch has been opened and new earth has been put in from the bath room to down stairs and both the gas and water have been rebonded with heavier cable. this last will however need redoing as for some reason they ziptied the new wire to the main hot water feed for upstairs which as you mght think gets well hot. so now we have holes in ceilings and pipe boxes and every switch to reset and tuch in. oh and the cupboard door for the cu no longer fits so i need to make a new one of them too. thing is it's not that i mind what they have done as i need that to comply it is having to redo finished work that bites.

My sparky was very tidy, he warned me there would be a mess but there wasn't.
