    first hour labour cost? - Hourly rate work

    Hi All, Does anybody else charge more for their first hours labour than the successive hours? Im thinking of implementing this, as our work recently has been lots of smaller jobs and callouts (Sometimes less than an hour on site) , lots more travelling between, so I kind of feel like we are not...

    The cost of poor insulation

    I've just tested a sub-main cable running to an old barn. 0.05 Mohms at 250V. Obviously a fail, but the customer says it's fine because it works. As they're clearly not interested in their own safety I wondered if I could make them see sense by the cost. So my question is; How much does it...

    Cost per point central london

    I’ve been asked by a client of my wife to have a look at a bill submitted by their builder. She’s an accountant as I’m a spark. Generally if I price on a per point basis I would charge at £65 - £70 with mid range white accessories per point and then allow £500 for DB, bonding and commissioning...

    Hi, would really appreciate some thoughts on this. Customer has asked me to change all 40 downlights in his flat (yes, 40) from ELV halogen to LED. Some transformers had failed so agreed to change over to GU10. I said I could either change the lamp holders and keep the existing fittings or...

    Cost to replace the base pipe at the meter?

    I was just told by my electric company that I need to replace the base pipe at the meter. What kind of cost am I looking at to do this? My power is surging in and out.

    Hi, hoping I am posting to the right place. We are looking at doing up our new house with some serious renovations to our kitchen. When we looked at the consumer unit, it was pretty clear that it was both ancient and had been added to/extended many times. We are pretty sure that if we are going...

    Wow the cost will be crazy

    If they think these will take off i recon they are wrong. Retro fitting them will always have problems as the wiring cannot be guarenteed. Fair enough in industrial but not domestic. At 211 for 1 unit. I seen a picture today of a cu with main switch and 8 of these and a spare 2 way space. Didn't...
