FULL Electrical Rewire from Start to Finish

That's right it's time for an Artisan Rewire. Something a little different to our usual content as we take on a full house rewire. It's not often we get the opportunity to carry out this type of electrical work, so we thought we'd bring the whole crew along with the camera, to show off what an electrical rewire looks like at Artisan Electrics. This episode consists of broken floorboards, a 50-year-old underlay, lots of PPE and a beautiful consumer unit change.

I must say I do agree with johns comment about commercial sparks looking down their noses at domestic sparks. I’ve worked a lot in both sectors and I must say domestic offers up a whole different set of challenges that you will never come across in commercial or industrial work. Great work guys 👌🏻👌🏻 also he said about putting the carpet grippers in window sill 👌🏻 top tips from me aswell, if it’s a furnished room take a photo before you start so everything goes back how you found it and number all your floor boards so you know where they go back to 👌🏻 great work team artisan

Loved being a sparky in the 80s..sadly the army turned me into a mechanic, then hydraulic fitter.. really miss being a spark- happy days! trained to the 15th edition lol. Respect to the modern day electricians !

A very important element was covered here that is often overlooked: You _must_ have all the correct equipment and materials with you necessary to make a mug of tea. If you can't make tea on a job then, frankly, you're not really fit to be there. It's practically the law.

Good job guys. 👏

Love your work lads - greetings from Ireland. Worked in industrial maintenance myself. My good hint as regards floorboards - set the circular saw depth using a piece of sample floorboard to just below the bottom of the tongue itself - not the bottom of the board. That way, there is still a margin of error of approx 4 - 5 mm and you still get to cut off the tongue without going all the way to the bottom of the board itself and possibly nicking other pipes or services. Worked for me every time. Would love to have served an apprenticeship with ye if I was starting out over again.

im impressed it didn't take 3 weeks again 😅

[CShand]

Great video as always. It would have been great to see in more detail how you deal with the existing cables and how you secure them in the chases

[declang]

I always mark across the floor boards with my black sharpie saves time when your trying to find them to put back down

[tc]

Great video! Nice to see some rewire work.. didn’t know you guys like to get dirty tho 😂

You definitely need to invest in a Metabo triple blade chaser

[andrewd]

Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes that result in a big bang at sometime, it's a steep learning curve and you won't do it twice.
Looking on the bright side, when you accidentally connect 3 phase into a board that's linked out for single phase supply the several thousand amps fault current means the fault is cleared nice and quickly by the supply side fuses.

Oooo, I love factory tours. When I was doing my EE back in the '90s, we had a tour of Drax and Hartlepool Nuclear. :)

[mattwhitley]

Seems to be johns way or no way… patterns emerging over a few weeks

[discomonkey]

Back in the 80s we used a lump hammer and boaster chisel to lift floor boards :)

[SteveNail]

Put some insulation tape on the back of those coach light pins, It'll stop them pushing back whilst you fix it.

[callumsimpson]

Really good tip I robbed off someone the other week if you put a screw in the little hole on a wood saw you can use the magnet on the laser level and slide it up and down. It’s actually a game changer 😂

[Ragnar]

I once managed to short out two phases on a 35 amp supply, the bus bar of one phase poked through the insulation of another phase conductor. These days DIN rail boards have fully insulated 3-phase bus bars but that was an 80s board that I was just jiggling around. When I was done I screwed in the main fuses at the meter, measured voltage at the board, all fine. No IR testing because it was my own place and late in the evening and everything, you know how you get negligent sometimes. Turned on the RCD in the outbuilding and measured again, everything dead. The short had blown two main fuses (D02 Neozed bottle fuses) without any bang or even a fizzle. Luckily I had spare fuses so crisis averted. I'm still surprised the whole event was so quiet! Usually even an L-N short on a final circuit results in quite a bang.

All this stone looks like a nightmare. Makes me happy that we more often than not timber frame here in the US.

[sgrb]

I would like to see more footage on how you feed/fish cable behind walls and ceilings etc please!

[johnavery]

You need to buy a Faithful Nail Puller. Makes easy work of floorboard nails. I drill a 6mm hole either side of a nail so I don’t have to hammer the nail puller in too much.

Lads I hope your treating Luke to another few burgers,
Fair play Luke that's a neat tidy board 👊nice job😃👍
