Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.37 PM

Hi I'm looking to get work down on three rooms of my house but would like advice on the order of work. Am I correct with the following? Plastering Initial electrics- so sorting socket and getting fittings ready Skirting boards Painting Radiators fitted back on (getting new ones) Final electric fit- light fittings Carpets Rehang new doors Appreciate some guidance, thanks Nicola

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Nicola , as long as the electricians dont have to move any socketts or chase any wireing in to the wall then you are ok with the order you have. If they do , it might be a good idea to change the first two arround. Hope that helps Best wishes Robert

Hi Nicola. I would suggest hanging the new doors before the carpet is fitted. You can calculate the thickness of underlay and carpet and reduce the height of the door to accommodate. This will prevent potential damage and the need to protect carpets from careless tradesmen. You will also save yourself some time cleaning. Hope this helps. Regards, Dan.
