Cu change quotes, think I’m too cheap

[sparksites]

dual RCD board, £80. 1 day install including testing (but no fault tracing or rectification) £250. that's £330 all in ..upgrading earthing and bonding if required possible £150 extra.

Tails? Stuffing glands? Sundries (plugs, screws, sleeving, cable)? I was charging 250 a day in 2010. You're undervaluing yourself and the trade at those rates.

Exactly!

Some folk look at the cheapest CU in Screwfix and assume the job can be done for £50 more.

I wouldn’t fit a dual board in my own house so why would I fit one in a customer house...

I agree 100% technically, RCBOs are the best way.

But sometimes you have to be flexible depending on who your customers are, and if you can afford for them to go elsewhere.

(Just to say I don't do that commercially so speaking as an observer here)

I haven’t fitted a dual split board in over 3 years , always quote for an rcbo board and probably about 50% of quotes turn into paid jobs.

We are the same. No split load boards for 5+ years. Mainly Hager stuff and similar prices to you. Never had a quote turned down yet.

99% of board changes I do range between £800-1000

if they want it done rushed & cheap I’m not the guy anymore

i dont do many these days so not really fussed how many I win

back in my 20s I would do 4 on a weekend at £300 a pop but that was no cert , no part pee no scam membership

£600 9-way DB with 6x RCBOs and SPD, usually Wylex (sometimes Hager). Includes a 2-3 hr visit a week before the change to do pre-change checks (and resolve minor issues, but no serious fault-finding). Extra circuits ~£40-50 each. East midlands. I don't get every quote, but I do get most.
