    Quote for changing light fittings

    Hi folks, hope you all are well. I've been asked to replace 3x battens fittings (6ft) to smaller fittings (4ft) in a office. I reckon I can get them all fitted in 1.5 hours easily. How much would you charge? Job is in Oldham. The location is only 8 minutes drive. Thank you.
