Making good

Chris Pearson
After a rather hard day on site today (daughter's rewire) Mrs P said that if she was paying an electrician, she wouldn't necessarily get the chases filled. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her). Then Mrs P said that an electrician would never repaint the wall. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her).


Who is correct?

    Q: Would an electrician be prepared to peel back wallpaper, chase the wall, insert the cable, channelling and accessory, connect up, plaster over the chase and re-stick the wallpaper, leaving little evidence that the wallpaper had ever been temporarily removed (as I have done on various occasions)?


    A: Perhaps, if you paid him, but I don't think he would be too keen; it would require a revisit and tradesmen usually want to complete in one day if necessary.


    Q: Would it be acceptable for an electrician to insert a back box into a hole made by someone else, run the wiring and leave someone else to plaster up after?


    A: Probably, on a building site.


    It is all really a case of the situation.
