4-4-2   10 #1 Posted September 10, 2017 Is it possible to provide a rough estimate for some electrical work - don't want to drag people out unnecessarily just to get comparisons. Have had 1 scary quote and just want to be sure it's in the right ballpark  Need to move /update fuseboard, either a couple of feet to the left or across hallway testing and certification  all electrical work for new kitchen (fitting in with builder) including - wiring boiler being moved there - new feeds for oven, induction hob, extractor - several new double sockets - under cabinet lighting - 6 led downlights (new circuit for kitchen/diner lighting)  also add couple of extra sockets upstairs  Hope this isn't one of those 'it depends' type questions :-) Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
kidley   48 #2 Posted September 10, 2017 you are looking at about £1500 with a fully qualified sparkle, make sure he can issue one of these, a part P certificate, if he cant, don't have him/her.  http://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/Regulations-Explained Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

TimmyR   10 #4 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) I always want to know a) how long will it take? b) what are material costs. I wouldn't expect to pay a sparky more than £160 per person per day (there may be more than one of them). You then add material costs and day rates together to get a sensible sum. I never know why quotes aren't broken down like this. You just get a random figure picked out of the air with some tradespeople. "well, It'll be 1 or 2 hundred", well thats quite a big difference!  Kidley's quote could be about right I can't really tell how long all the above would take, sounds like quite a lot of work. Materials would be a fair wack with new distribution board and so on. Edited September 10, 2017 by TimmyR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Let your contractor supply all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DVCI Â Â 10 #7 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Meter shouldn't be touched that's the DNO's job unless your upgrading the meter tails to the board or fitting a fused isolator and a job that size shouldn't require any money upfront Edited September 11, 2017 by DVCI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
