That's it. I vote for a furze tunnel under every house where you can put all your wiring across the entire house with ease!! And large thick conduits inside the bricks themselves so you can stuff 10 cables if you wanted to, to specific points.
Here here ❤
In Sweden in newer houses they have tubes in the walls for cables so you can easily feed new cables down
For rewires like this its a good idea to mount an old fuseboard onto a wooden board with a load of double sockets.
That way you can run anything you need to keep running from extension leads
Its always a good idea to completely isolate the whole install and connect the tempory directly to the incomer.
Plus if you leave plenty on the tails for the temp board you can take it from job to job
Good video Nick, I love Tradify, really streamlined my business, got it after you recommended it, I'd be lost without it
Cracking video again Nick and Adam. Bit of advice get yourself and Adam on an Asbestos course especially if your working in old properties 👍
you get all the nice jobs, someone told me that laminate flooring is the artex of the ninety's, great vid neat chases, keep up the good work
Be careful some of those old Marley type floor tiles contain asbestos.
Was just about to say this
Came here to say this about 95% of the old Marley tiles or even the adhesive holding it down is asbestos
So long as it is not powdered you should be fine, but PVA would sort that out in emergencies together with PPE, double bag the suspected material before proper disposal. On big jobs it’s worth getting a sample tested and consider specialist removal.
@@johnmansell5097 where do you get this information?
Youd have to be in the place months for asbestos to take effect
Fair play for even taking on a rewire in a habitable house , I don’t even consider it these days , too much hassle with carpets and furniture.
Looks a bit of a nightmare. looking forward the finishing video,brilliant content.
Thanks for the great content, can you please make a video about using the chaser without making a mess and a lot of dust. Thanks
Really enjoy the vids. keep up the good work

CEF is good for getting obscure things at short notice.
I needed a three phase C25 recently and the only place I could find that had one of any brand in stock was CEF.
Wow, that existing install 🙈 lovely. And the pelmet lights 😂 haven't seen them for years lol.
Love the shoutout! Thanks Nick!
In kitchen have ever thought just to pvc trunking it? If it's coming out shortly any way, if you leave plenty flex etc. Probably make better job in long run and can be altered easily depending on the new kitchen layout. Just an idea
I love how he has veto and dewalt 😍😍😍
That board under the kitchen appliances serves 2 purposes, the main purpose would be to level the floor, the other purpose is to provide a basic fire barrier for the bitumen tiles underneath, they burn with a thick black smoke and won't stop burning once ignited!
For your van, try raptor paint or bed liner, it doesn't wear like spray paint does. Stay prettier for longer, bit more expensive though
Did you check with the Home owner before lifting that piece of wood as it may have been to cover asbestos tiles or tiles that have asbestos based adhesive on the back
How would the new owners know that.
This was in our house and it was covering asbestos
I am not sure if you guys used asbestos in the plaster? I know they have here in the USA that you have to watch out for.
Yes the 8" tiles here in the US are the dead give away that they are asbestos based with almost 100% certainty. 😮✋
I thought those floor tiles looked suspect.
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
I have seen simalar on company computer networks. Organic growth without any planning or updating of existing infrastructure.
Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and restart from scratch installing not what the customer thinks they need now but what they will definatly need in the near future.
In electricians area this means EV charging and posiblely PV and home battery requirements.
Assuming the customer can be pursuaded to cover the slight extra cost.
bad mouthing veto is a bag idea hahahaha
That DIY trunking seems like a lot of effort! 🤣 far easier to do it properly in the first place, probably a dave savory weekend special!! 😉
Stupid knows no bounds when it comes to extra effort. 😉
so much ingenious effort put in the wrong way xD
Are the floor tiles Marley tiles? If so are they asbestos?
does that sound proofing on your office wall work🤔
Nice underlay laminate flooring is, adds to the bounce.
Job last week for me, they were laying laminate on top of laminate, great 😎
Smart vans lads 👍
That adhesive in the flooring looks like asbestos I'd be careful pulling it up and cutting into it.
The tile definitely contains asbestos and you have residue in the glue😢
@@M0PAX the Bitumen will have it in too they use to mix it in to make it stronger
I've recently done several chases in my walls in order to run CAT6, however the majority of chasers, including mine only chase max 30mm. Problem I have is I want to use 20mm conduit, but the 20mm knockouts on 30/47mm back boxes are too far back. Is it easier to holesaw holes closer to front of back boxes OR chase deeper, if so how?
You need to be a little careful, guidance is not to chase deeper than 1/3 the leaf thickness - if it's an old brick wall the thickness is around 100mm, at which point depending on plaster thickness you probably can't chase much deeper than 30mm anyway...
Just use 25mm boxes, why do you need deep ones just for data points ?
Be easier just to bend a set into the conduit to bring it to the front
Can u not use oval conduit rather than 20mm round conduit so your chases aren't as deep?
It's not just CAT6, it's coax, speaker wire. I would prefer to use round conduit incase my needs case and need to run more/new cable. Also hence why I need the deeper backboxed as I will using Euro modules
Ingenious outdoor red trunking
Yes, ingenious. That's what it is, ingenious. 🤣 🤣 🤣
Takes longer to put up, poorer IP rating and more expensive than actual trunking or even the conduit that they should have used! Decent mechanical protection though, particularly if combined with galv capping - wonder what its IK rating is.
Nick you really need to do you Cat B course fella you are opening your self up to a world of hurt with HSE
i had a 40 amp shower cable going out the back of the consumer unit, through the wall up the outside of the wall across a flat roof, under the eaves and into the shower room. all because they didnt want to redecorate. all in twin and earth. it was super crispy but the customer said he didn't want it touching (I was there to do a shed)
Bott Smart Van Racking would be ideal Nick, you will like the colour. I pinged you an email yesterday dude, let me know 🤩
Can’t find it dude , what email did you use mate

@@NBundyElectrical NBBundy92 I will ping you a text 👍🏼
My wind is bad today as well.
Top work fella, Why don’t you like makita?
Where in Cumbria where you Nick. I'm originally from Wigton but now live Carlisle
Where do you guys get all your racking or do you just make it so suit
I make mine dude
Be careful of them floor tiles could be asbestos I just had a job with them tiles and they where asbestos nick
I was just about to say the same. All the places ive seen similar tiles test positive for asbestos. Looks like they came up with out breaking up too much
Never heard of tiles being asbestos before
Cheers guys
@@NBundyElectrical Our site mess rooms (built in the 60s) all have similar tiles to what you were pulling up. It may be a tiny amount of asbestos in them but worth considering getting a sample sent off if you ever survey a job and have concerns.
And use a FFP3 PPE as it filters asbestos. FFP2 doesn't
@@NBundyElectrical tiles and mastic glue canby!
Just glad I don’t do occupied re wires anymore , they are a pain
👍
any update on the white van?
Filmed some more today mate
Given the age of the house those floor tiles in the kitchen under the ply would more than likely have contained Asbestos - no PPE when taking them up Nick ! SMH ..... first rule of thumb is always check for ACM in any house that dates back pre 2000.
You need a marylands shelf in your vans 😆😆😆
Well I’ve come across people that have fed bedroom lights with very thin speaker cable so nothing surprises me anymore 😂
I was always told to be careful with those tiles in the kitchen due to them perpetually having asbestos. is this true?
yes and any plasterboard jointing compound that was installed up to around 2000
The tricky part is that not all of them contain asbestos. The only way to truly know is to have them tested. Otherwise, it's best to remove them as best as possible without breaking them up. Airborne particles inhaled can lead to cancer.
@@metrotechguru5863 like you say not all of them contain it. but have taken up 4 floors with the yellow tiles and they have all come back from testing as positive for asbestos
@@MrJackcrane the likelyhood of fibre release from them is very small though as theyre not very friable, the Artex theyre chasing though is 100 times worse if its Azzy though
@@MrJackcrane if you snap them you can actually see the asbestos reinforcement.
05:05 'ey up Rick 😎
Some of that was certainly creative.
Get on an asbestos awareness course for yours and your families sake 👍🏻
It’s probably.0000001 % . We wouldn’t do any work at all if we worried about asbestos in everything.
It’s part of our job , why do you think Jordan charges £100 an hour !!!!
@@mrgfromoxford8644 it’s not that chance at all, lots of those tiles contain asbestos, it’s not about being worried and who the fuck is Jordan?
@@mrgfromoxford8644 probably 10-25% its not about not doing the work its about doing it safely its not just himself hes putting at risk its his own family and the family who own the home
welcome to Cumbrian wiring
Gutted, if I knew you were in Cumbria I’d have come down it’s my home area
Sorry dude
That’s cool mate no bother at all
Not being funny mate but looking at that chase you just showed me it looked like your chase went through your switch and onto your socket outlet when you cannot go through the switchbox with your socket supply cables,and don't tell me that the chase was at the side of the switch because I could see the square knocked out for the switch had the chase running through it ?
The chase is deeper than the switch and it runs behind it, there were 3 cables going up to the loft , so they wouldn’t have fit in the patress if I’d tried
Ex social housing home? Loads of surface mounted sa2.
if i get you to do a rewire , as you no longer want monster would crack or meth be a approved substitute ??

ummm
Those floor times your lifting in the kitchen are likely to contain asbestos. Sad Panda!
those kitchen tiles, have they been tested for asbestos? try and keep them whole if you can, as they look to be of that age.
No mate never knew they could contain it, luckily it was just the 2 tiles
@@NBundyElectrical something to remember to look out for in the future
Defiantly something to watch as these where in our house when renovating they tested pos for asbestos
@@NBundyElectrical the bitumen adhesive will also contain asbestos, along with the texture coating
some R391 and it'll be fine!
No link for the floor lifter/de nailer.... Did you forget??

@@martinthompson863 thanks 👍🏼
@@raymurphy9749 nee probs got one myself
@@martinthompson863 thanks buddy ordered 1 last night from Amazon,I'll see if it works on the next rewire 👍🏼
Some right sparkies in the comments,changed a plug in 99 and now right know it alls
Careful cracking those old vinyl floor tiles. Usually have abit of asbestos in the buggers.
Defo asbestos tiles. 😢
That's what I thought, I know it's only a little bit of the "not as bad" asbestos, but still it's better to not inhale any if possible. Be careful Nick!
they aren’t vinyl it’ll be chrysolite 9” by 9” tiles with a bitumen glue
Nowt a bit of flexi wouldn’t fix!🤭
Where abouts in Cumbria mate?
Barrow Furness mate
Did you have the place checked for asbestos?
following artisan around now then ?
😂😂
Just a it of advice ( not just for you ) book yourself into an asbestos awareness course , it's contained in more materials than you could imagine
Yep, pretty much everywhere including artex walls they just chased. I recently learn that even plasterboard can do contain some 😳🤯
You think that is bad I might post one of mine.
Asbestos tiles?
Didn’t know they could be mate , nice one 👍
I love customers that leave lots of munchies.
Those tiles looked like the asbestos type. Be careful guys
Floor tails are asbestos !!!
😳
Just amazes me some think they know how to do a job.
I'm an ex Fleetwood lad...been in Manc for 20+ years so I think I won't sound right now...
Good luck with that … reminds me of Spanish wiring lol…
Posh eh? So you say lunch and dinner instead of dinner and tea? :)
Some of the worst wiring ive seen was done by electricians in there own homes.... same as mechanics cars are usually really abused
Nightmare 😅
Parrots Head Nail Puller
Nightmare job for sure, but always love a challenge 👏🏼
The floor nail removers are decent until you trap a bit of skin in the handle 😂
@Ellis The DJ instantaneous blood blister 😂
Not as bad as trapping the skin in ure fly 😮
@@JRCElectrical Owwwwwww!
Asbestos tiles
8:36 Asbestos much?
Delicious
I wouldn't be bothered about the wiring, have you seen the decorating.
What a awful ad-hock house and diy electrical.
If you want a job doing properly, do it yourself. :p
I hope your going to make good all that chasing ?
Makita👍Dewalt 🗑. That's a tough job good luck boys.
nah, otherway round pal.
@@ja6onthom 🤣
I bet on jobs like this you wish you could say to the customer "Listen, I'll do your floor for free just let me rip it up so I can do the chases correctly".
We need the government instead of stealing tax money to fund a programme like that.
How do you cable first when the chases aren't open to put the chases in?
Oh.. No. That's what the DIYer did. They put cables first.
That was me soz
😂😂😂😂
