Runjiarun 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 Hi guys, Just replaced the entire wiring for my resale flat. The electrician left plenty of holes in the wall, many of which are partial covered by the new wire casings and power sockets. There is even two holes in the aircon pipe casing. He claimed that the painter (separate contractor) will patch them up. Is this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, if you have DIY and engage electrician & painter yourself, then you may be in a spot. IMO, the electrician workmanship very lousy or he simply don't care. Your third picture is not acceptable to me. Hopefully your painter is for forgiving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Runjiarun 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks w7_lee for the advice. Yes my painter and electrician are separate parties. Just sharing for the sake of other forumers doing electrical works - I made a big fuss and made my electrician come back to patch up the big holes. The painter made it clear to me that they will only patch the holes left behind by screws, nails and some minor cracks due to age, but not leftover damage from dismantling fixtures/wires/casings. So do take note before paying your electrician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
