Why rewiring in East Finchley is address-specific
Whether a property in East Finchley needs a full rewire or targeted circuit work is a testing outcome, not an inference from the age of the stock: earlier partial rewires hide behind original fabric and only show up once circuits are proved.
Whether the property stays occupied changes the sequencing of a East Finchley rewire more than any other single factor: chasing, lifting floors and making good have to be phased around the rooms still in use.
