[QUOTE="carter69, post: 490521, member: 32165"] This conversation reminds me of when we had the kitchen done. I worked with the installer in removing the old kitchen and lifting the old flooring. As we were lifting the old tiled floor, found wires connected with plastic terminal blocks, bit of insulation tape wrapped around them, these were directly under where the old kitchen sink and pipework was. Before we started we made sure the electrics for the whole floor was off and checked no current was present. Only once got half the floor lifted found out thats how the original installers had connected 2 of the previous electric UF heating. On another point, when they build the house they buried the wrong width gas pipe from the meter to the boiler (typical on the other side of the house), so means theres a gas pipe running around the outside to connect the two. With these examples of how the house has been wired/plumbed, I do fear what other hazards maybe hidden within the walls. FWIW, we have a trusted electrician who we have used before and doesnt take liberties. [/QUOTE]
