So, a bit of insomnia kicked in tonight after a hectic few days and I found myself scrolling and saw this sparks doing a bit of a tool price vid.

What is it with the recent prices I'm getting at wholesalers, just about everything anyone quotes now is about 20% dearer than I can get things for retail. Take today, I needed some conduit, saddles etc so went to a wholesalers round the corner, I don't use them very often but I know the lad who...
Hi there, had some great advice over the last few months so I'm back.
Everything is going up and so our prices have to, too. They've been the same for two years so it's time (aside from inflation).

Short of phoning other...

I've had quite a bit of cable stored up so haven't had to buy any for a while. The prices look crazy!
I don't mind spending a few thousand on buying in bulk as you save hundreds. Is there anywhere that people use to buy in bulk? I'll try rexel on Monday but they're not usually the best for...
Not really for work, more for Christmas.
Does anyone know good prices for mobile phone handsets?
I’m looking for iPhones, but not that important.
I can get 2 as business expenses, but the kids want new ones as well.
Any good refurbished stockists you know of?
Went to scrap yard today, had a large sack, just shy of 20KG of stripped copper cables.
Was shocked when he said £6 per KG... nice Brucy bonus for me there...
Copper has gone up again after a little fall. from a job point of view it means the price of cables is going to go up even further.

Hello Everyone
Are we all facing the same problem of price hiking up of electrical cable? In this month alone start of 2021 the price has been changed twice. The first time wasn’t so bad it was by £2.00 the second time it was changed by a odd £6.00...
Any info on this?
Are prices likely to...
Hi , I've recently started on a new build site in essex, self employed sub contracting for a colchester company for which I have done work for 3 years .recently I've started to take the prices as a personal insult. A 3 bed house 1st fix including 2x data, 2x tv points 3x bt around 16 x sockets ...
....are set to rise.
My wholesaler confirmed today that next week will likely see a good bump upwards in prices across the board although he doesn't know of what magnitude.

What is everyone paying for 1.5 & 2.5 T&E at the minute? The price of copper seems to be as low as it's been in a long time, and cable slowly seems to be following it.

I set up on my own beginning of 2019, doing mainly commercial and industrial work.
But I’m wanting to branch out to the domestic market as well.
I am wanting to mainly install CCTV and Intruder Alarms.
From looking at a few threads, everyone is saying Hikvision and Texecom are my best bet for...
As in the title.
I usually fit dual RCD boards, however I have recently fitted a few RCBO boards due to space restrictions.
To obtain a reasonable price for the customer I have been fitting Lewden RCBO's, as at £10 each they are affordable.
Why do RCBO's have such a difference in price...
I was asked if I can test a domestic property in Liverpool yesterday, I said yes i can and told them I charge £120 for an EICR. They then replied
"£100 sounds better"
I replied saying no I charge £120 for a domestic EICR (Which i think is pretty reasonable?)
They did not reply!

Hi,
I am curious to know how electrical contractors manage the prices they get from your suppliers.
Everyone knows that if you stick with one wholesaler, you are likely to get your pants pulled down by pricing over one thing or another, you need to keep them on their toes, and to do that you...
