    Hi,

    I recently bought a house in need of refurbishment. Its not to old, about 15-20 years. I was wanting to get the wiring and plumbing checked before I start with the visual refurbishment.

    I have no idea what is the going rate for these kind of checks. Can anyone advice. House is a bungalow in South Dublin and about 115m2

    Thanks

    well really you would be best getting a plumber and electrician to have a look, the wiring should be okay if its 20 odd years but if you want to make visual inspections you should be looking for things that look like they were added after the build like cables tacked to skirtings or if the fuse board has any additions, different makes on the trip switches is a give away on this. Alterations shouldn't be a problem if they are done right but sometimes they are done as DIY and could be shoddy. The plumbing should be okay too at this stage but the boiler would definitely be worth having checked out by a professional as these do need to be regularly serviced. The house probably doesn't have a carbon monoxide detector which you should get installed.
