If no bonding is needed, correct down lights I.e ip65 fire rated if needed etc

i would never quote without seeing when it's unknown what's required. Oldtimer's in Edinburgh, maybe he can help out.

Seems a bit cheap, would have thought more £30 a light, supply, fit and test. Thats assuming all other circuits in the bathroom have rcd protection and/or earthing is correct. Sparks do like to buy food now and again.

80 notes seems very cheap who knows what condition original cable is in, how it is wired, if it needs replacing cosmetic damage occured, as many houses don't have rcd's is one needed.
too many reasons to do the job and get nothing back.
get a quote off an electrician that can see the job himself is my advice.
would a plummer give a quote without knowing size of property etc?

I have a quote done today for 4 D/L.

New C/U was done last week.

Quoting for LED IP rated downlights, obviously you are paying for these so allow accordingly.....

You need to get a spark to look at it, if the circuit has no RCD, then one is fitted and it keeps tripping/doesnt pass testing, circuit needs rewiring then you are talking a few more pennies then £80 quid, that would be coming out of your pocket for not qouting correctly too remember!!!
If all is ok sticking 5 lights up (you supplied) it may be enough.
