A full rewire in a 1930s semi

Helen and Mark bought a 1930s semi with its original wiring: black rubber cable, a wooden fuse board under the stairs and round-pin sockets in two bedrooms. We rewired the whole house in ten working days while they stayed with family for the first week. First fix took four days, with floorboards up and every wall chased; the plasterer followed us room by room; second fix, testing and the certificate took the rest. Two extra sockets in the kitchen were added along the way, priced and signed for in their portal before we fitted them.
