Cost to change a fuseboard.

[WarwickApp]

Hi guys. Just wondering what everybody is charging these days for a board change? I've got a customer who wants theirs changed, all of it apart from the lighting is already rcd protected so hopefully no nasty surprises.

I'm going to install a split load RCD board (probably Fusebox if supplier has them in) with 8 circuits, nothing unusual, shower, cooker, couple of ring mains, immersion and a couple of lighting circuits.

I'll be providing all materials and labour.

I will do a full eicr afterwards.

Only a local job, a lovely chap who I've done a few jobs for so I don't want to by any means rip him off.

I had in mind £400 but a mate of mine has told me I'm too cheap. Let me know what you think guys. Cheers.

I am in the process of getting mine done and the Electrician wanted to do an EICR before hand which is fine as remedials can be sorted out first so no surprises when the board is done.
I am going for all RCBO's.

These days, and especially if you only have 5-8 circuits or so, the cost difference for something like the Fusebox all-RCBO & SPD board is negligible compared to the skilled labour for installation & testing. But the reduction in possible future problems quite worthwhile.
