The previous owners did not provide much to us.. We really had a hard 3 years with trying to buy a house.. I will not detail. This is about electricity. We talk to the electrician which someone recommended back in November. The floors were done these last 2 days. The electrics could or should be sorted before, or we would delay the floors.. The electrician said it's all fine. He was going to provide certificates but he delayed. We will ask for them or asked already, but we will fix this recent issues and than he should give his OK in writing. The electrician should know his stuff.. he cannot blame us for not changing the entire house electrics when by now just one circuit was bad and he didn't detected! The previous fusebox was indeed old and did not tripp, as this new one is very sensitive, but he installed it over 6 weeks ago. He came again as we had the issue and he said he checked and it's ok.. now, too late to discover it's not ok. When working with different trades, each and one of them are coming with their own way to do it. If I asked first thing first, check the gutters and you do decoration instead, delaying and lying bla bla. Asking a kitchen fitter to paint first, noo he was not going to do it. just at the end, so all the dust and extra cleaning, protection and worrying for the new installed kitchen.. same with electrician. Someone here said the electrician should have test the circuits right from the beggining, before installing the new consumer unit. Anyway, we just did not have much luck with various traders.</p></blockquote><p></p>
