    No I didn't ... Oh I most certainly will. I'll just ignore any comments from one particular member here ...

    Oven supply question

    Yes indeed. And I forgot to say that I was reckoning on him finishing the job once the cooker point and socket was wired in, but he wasn't having any of that. He insisted on wiring the oven up and installing it so he could test the whole shebang. Anyhow, thanks for your help with this...

    Oven supply question

    And ... just to give this thread a proper ending, cheapest sparky of three came round yesterday bang on promised time, and left three hours later having done us a first class job. Decent bloke - civil, not rabbitting on all the time about how hard done to he is, not forever on his phone, and...

    Oven supply question

    Having in the past completely rewired a two-bed bungalow and a one-bed flat, that was my inital plan but two things put the mockers on that. One is my arthritis, and t'other is my uncertainty as to whether it's still legal for me to do that.

    Oven supply question

    Already checked and cheapest guy comes up 100%, established 1999 too. I have no idea how he makes a living at his prices, but that's his lookout :)

    Oven supply question

    Well, this has turned out really interesting. Ignoring matey and his £60 bodge, we end up being quoted £308, £211 and £145. All three check out kosher, but only the highest-priced guy is VAT registered. My gut feeling about the other two is pretty much the same, so it's hard to think of a...

    Oven supply question

    Interesting what you guys are saying your day rates are. We're in East Sussex, just over the order from Kent, and from what I can gather from neighbours the going rate hereabouts seems to be more like £300 + VAT.

    Oven supply question

    Couldn't agree more. I'm hoping number three turns up this morning as planned, and as soon as his quote's in, we can pick the winner and get the work done

    Oven supply question

    Really? When I went to school, a dozen was 12 - not 3. But I do understand your attitude. I feel just the same way about tradesmen who say they'll be here at 10am to quote, then turn up an hour or more later, if at all. And the ones who do turn up, put on a show of being keen to do the job...

    Oven supply question

    Thank you, gentlemen. Electrician no.3 was muttering lots about whether or not the busbar of the consumer unit was long enough for him to add the requisite MCB for the oven circuit and he ended up taking a photo of the unit. It seemed to me that the way this was heading, the quote was perhaps...

    Oven supply question

    Oh I already have done, Andy78. Believe me I have. Anyhow, we've just had another sparky here to quote, and he's raised another issue. At present, the existing oven is wired to a 13A plug top which lives in one side of a twin socket on the wall near the hob. The other half of that socket is...

    Oven supply question

    Ah. Hmmm ... unfortunately the wife has set her heart on this particular oven and it's being delivered Monday. I guess we're snookered then. Glad I asked though. Thank you.

    Oven supply question

    When our Victorian semi was tarted-up in the 1980s, the cooker circuit to the kitchen was ripped out but fortunately since we moved in in 2000 the oven we've been using (with the gas hob) has been OK on a 13A plug. That oven is now well past its best before, and the replacement the wife wants...
