Just purchased a 2 bed flat which needs a complete rewire. Flat is currently empty as I'm moving in from rented and have a few weeks before i need to move. My question is when you have plastering done after a rewire do they usually only plaster around where the walls have been cut in (is that the correct term) or do they need to do whole walls to keep everything smooth?
Second question is if plastering is only around the rewiring damage, and some walls have a lot of drill holes from vendors shelves etc, is it worth getting the whole wall replastered or will a competent DIYer be able to fill and make good the holes so that the walls are smooth for painting? Trying to keep costs down but want to get things as good as possible while flat in empty to save future hassle.
