well i just got back from doing a 9 way shneider metal clad all rcbo. Two circuits redundant, two new ones in twin pulled in. Take down old board in a corner above a sink, really awkward, drill new hole in wall bring existing cables through new hole, crimp and extend all existing circuits and terminate. Took me 5 hours not including testing. This was in a large portacabin office.

I'm on price on every job,

How much for the board change?
How much for the testing? (Assuming some days you will do this, if there are no board changes to do)

 

[glasgospark]

who cares i charge by the hour so 2 hours plus 1 and a half for testing

hahahhahahhahaha

here is one i done before, here is a kitchen i trunked because there were through crimps berried behind tiles and the tenant wanted as little disruption as possible. now where did i leave my horse lol

The CCU doesnt exactly look stunning tbh.

The price work I was doing a month back was rubbish in terms of price. £25 for CU change, £12.50 per rcbo, per smoke/heat, earth bonding, extra point, move point, upgrade tails. £70 for Rewire bathroom, £145 for kitchen Rewire.£25 Test and 2nd fix last bits/take youzee boxes off. PVC trunking £0.50 a meter
Still take my time with CU about an hour. usually takes 2 sparks 10-12 hour day to do a property. It wears you out and the best We earnt was £312 before tax between 2 of us
Test isn't done the day of CU change.

That's why a lot of the works thrown in, some CU' s others do are absolutely thrown in.

Not referring to the OP just giving a rough idea or prices

In that pic of kitchen is that socket far enough away from cooker not picking just the angle pictures took at looks really close

 

[brizospark]

Take it you didn't replace tails then!

Apart from the probability that perhaps things aren't done to the proper standard you have to accept that when you come on making claims like that you're going to get a bit of ribbing mate. We're not smashing you, just poking fun (mostly) at you.
You're right with the Welsh thing but google translate might help

Ye shud've written that in Geordie bonny lad.

 

[Geordie Spark]

I used to test the neatest wired consumer units in Wales
They were factory prewired and were much neater than any ever presented on this forum,so there

lol

As for the writing in Welsh.be proud of the language rather than use it as some sort of perceived weapon,please try and make Wales and Welsh people respected rather than ridiculed

I can write in German as well

So can I ...... Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

 

[Geordie Spark]

agree. the welsh had a coherent languge when the english were still grunting. seeing some of the english football crowds, a lot of them still are.

Ye speak for yersel' hinny !!! :63:

 

[LlandrilloSpark]

What's all this about Wales???, my second or adopted country !
