Hi guys

How much would you charge for

# Fit and wire 1x bathroom fan (fan supplied)
# Fit and wire a new 10.5kw shower (20m run, shower supplied)
# Bonding to gas and water (25m run, part in pvc conduit)
# Tails & earthing upgrade
# Test & certificate?

Plus no rcd for fan so run throught a rcd spur

Are you having to core drill for the fan??

Also is there a lot of chasing in for the shower cable? Are you making good after?

If so, I would charge around the £400 mark if there were no obvious problems which could arise.
 
I wouldn't do it, but i think someone would do it for £300.00. (with supplying materials) if the main objective was to get it done as cheap as possible, which it probably would be.
 
Got to be around the £400 mark me thinks m8
Great Minds etc etc

I think you would struggly to get a certified electrician to do it for much less as the costs for materials (10mm cable, 10mm earth, clamps, RCD, plaster/filler etc) could be around the £70 mark, core drilling can take a few hours if your unlucky, and then testing it.

I have to admit when I first saw your post I thought £500 but then priced it as a best case senario. Keep in mind if you have to spend an few hours moving furniture, lifting carpets/floorboards etc, it could go into a day and a half.
 
Cheers guys

I did core drill it but I'm not plastering as this is being done anyway it took me 1.5 days to get in so I charged £380 and the company I did it for, asked for a brake down so wondered thought I might of charged to much but not now cheers:p
 
Been to a job today for the same company, to put some spot lights in and a feed for a mirror in a bathroom.

No main earth
No main bonding to gas or water
No RCD
Old rewireable fuses

Told them there need a P.M.E. fitting before I touch it, They asked if I could fit and just leave disconnected:rolleyes:. Told them not really. They come out with a snide comment about printing money because the last job I did for them, they didn't expect the cost for the bonding.

I told them I didn't know what the last electrician did about the bonding but, it needs to be in place before any work begins. They said he just use to make a note on the certificate and just do the work anyway:eek:.

I'm sure this isn't aloud. What's your guys thoughts:eek:
 
Yr right m8, bonding to services to be upgraded before any work commences. As for no main earth I would put it in writing to the customers stating its unsafe, covers yr arse.
 
In some cases of minor works bonding need not be upgraded a note on cert will suffice but if eic issued then bonding needs updated
 
131.8

No adddition or alterteration, temporary or permanent, shall be made to an existing installation, unless it has been ascertained that the rating and the condition of any existing equipment, including that of the distributor,will be adequate for the altered circumstances. Furthermore, the EARTHING AND BONDING arrangements, if necessary for the protective measure applied for the safety of the addition or alteration, shall be adequate.
 
So if you were replacing like for like you'd upgrade bonding to current regs. Im talking about bonding in general not referring to the ops spotlights? Cheers
