[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 70576, member: 2683"] There are ways to seperate the circuits without doing a full rewire. I have done loads of this type of work for the electrical safety council grants scheme. After testing all circuits are sound its easy to find legs in and out, split the circuits and run new legs in to complete a ring or radial. Lighting circuits are even easier, find the main supply going upstairs, cut it, terminate it, then run a new cable to supply all the upstairs lights. Longest time I have spent on this type of job was 4 days, and filled a 10 way dual split cu. Most other jobs of this type was 2 day jobs. I rewired one house with minimum disruption, and very little redecorating, by use of carefull planning, and speaking with the home owners explaining every step and the outcome of what I would have to do. It is possible and does not always require a full rewire. If the tests are ok it does not require a full rewire. If and only if they are planning any major refurb, then I would reccomend a rewire as a financially sound move.Other than that I never do if the tests are ok. [/QUOTE]
