I rewired my house for a fraction of that sum.
If you have any experience in uk wiring it is not to big a transition
to learn the french system. Use french equipement and do not be tempted
to follow uk wiring practise. I think taking it slowly and carefully
you would do it easy in two weeks and save well over £2k

Hi,

Firstly, before I get shot down by people telling me this is the wrong
group etc, I know ok... Couln't really find an alternative tho, so
sorry...

Right, by dad has a place in the Mayenne region of France which really
needs rewiring - everything needs to be replaced. It is not a very big
place - 3 good sized rooms (kitchen, middle room and attic bedroom) and
a bathroom.

Now, he has had a quote for £3k and I am thinking that this is rather
a lot for the size of the job. He was also told that there is 2 weeks
worth of work. I was therefore wondering if there was anyone out there
who has experience of dealing with French sparkys and whether they do
in fact cost this much?

Cheers

Tim

A colleague who has a house in France tells me not to use pull switches
- the French do not understand them and require a standard light switch,
even in the bathroom!
