My guess would be, two for every plug soctet and switch, 6 per door, 2 for every metre of guttering, say 4 for the fuse box.

You have 4 bedrooms.
I'm gonna guess one en suit.
A kitchen, living room, dining room, and up and downstairs bathrooms. plus a hall and a landing.

I think you'll have 2 screws for every light in the house, with one per room. At a guess. This will depend on whether you have spot lights.

I'm also going to guess 1 plug socket for each bedroom, none in the en suit or bathrooms, 2 doubles in the kitchen, and two in the living room and dining room and one in the hall.

I think you'll probably have joins at the doorway for th flooring of each room, and 5 screws for each.

I'm also going to guess the house is about 9 metres wide, so 18 metres of guttering.

Twelve light swtiches = 24 screws.
Eleven plug sockets = 22 screws
1 fuse box = 4 screws
18 metres of guttering = 36 screws
Twelve doors = 72 screws
Floor Joins = 30 screws.
Twelve lights = 24 screws.

Grand total = 212 screws.

Me getting this right = Priceless

You didn't use any. You used nails! So the answer is ZERO.
