Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

Three electricians came in the morning and have already completed tearing down the old trunking and wiring.

all appear to be laocheks with good experience...working steady poon pipi :D

Trunking on kitchen walls are nailed nicely at the grout area to avoid cracking the tiles, with glue running the entire strip to the wall...hacksaw (instead of snips) used to cut trunks to correct length...

Main thick trunkings were drilled and screwed (with wall plugs) onto the ceiling instead of nails...

Farewell to old retiring MCB and Greenland brand trunkings...you have served the flat well

best is get your contractor to stick his head inside and see what's that 2 rod.... if nothing special about that rod, cut it away or bend downwards, so it won't hang rubbish there lor...

Trunking near the gaspipe will be boxed up....so that kitchen lightswitch and heater switch trunking is not visible...

IMG_1096.jpg

Trunking at bathroom and WC... idea is to keep trunkings as concealed as far possible...

IMG_1098.jpg

Worth mentioning they even redo all the SCV and telephone wiring till the outside!!! Quality of the coaxial cables they provide is decent stuff, quite rigid, not the flimsy/soft easy-to-bend type... good stuff
