[QUOTE="UNG, post: 558451, member: 8931"] IMO there is never a good time to suggest or attempt to sell a rewire to a customer unless they have just purchased the property and haven't properly moved in, there will always be at least one or two rooms that have been recently redecorated When I started in 1976 I was told by the older guy's that most things had gone metric 4 - 5 years earlier which is generally confirmed by a number of sources With a rewire circa 1974 I would not automatically assume that the stranded cable is imperial as around that period there was a lot of aluminium twin and earth which had stranded cores, there are houses close to where I live that were built in the early 1970's that are awful to work on because they were wired with aluminium T&E which can be quite brittle now it has aged [/QUOTE]
