Old oven is a plug in, but the new one which we like has to be wired How much roughly would it cost to install the correct circuit
I'm converting a warehouse that was an exhibition space into a trampoline park. Need to: - Replace twenty flouro tube lights with LED equivalents - Move six plug sockets 6 inches to the left (currently surface mounted with cabling encased in trunking) Contractor says we need to rip out wiring and start from scratch because: - Current wire is a grey twin and earth that causes excess smoke and is only suitable for domestic. - Current wiring is attached to redundant old pipework and ceiling trusses (4mtrs off the ground) by cable ties. - Some back office wiring is surface mounted and not running inside trunking. He says “even if our electricians test everything and it is ok, if it doesn't meet regs Building Control may not accept it due to the extent of install you are carrying out they may request everything is replaced" Sound like it is necessary or could the existing wiring remain? Site was certified safe with Napit Electrical Installation report in 2018 Ta

Hello. We completed the refurbishment of our new home 15 months ago including some new circuits and all new electrical plugs, and light switches. It is ex-council property. We just found out that the electrical system is unsafe and could cause electrocution as there is no earthing in some of the circuits. We have now run out of time and money to do a new wired system and are wondering what direction to take. I am pretty nervous to live in the property considering we have a 5yo daughter. What alternative options could I consider?
