I got the job!

[wade88]

Some of you may have seen me scrabbling for advice last week in regards to a re-wire i was asked to quote for.

Well i got the job! Very pleased. Am now however bricking it.

Start work this friday. If you dont hear from me by the end of next week...fear the worst. :svengo:

25 sockets, 23 downlights, 9 pendants, 6 tv points, 3 fire alarms, 1 cooker, New board tails and bonding, pretty excited.

Wish me luck!

Ben

Oh and a massive thanks to everyone who helped me to get this job quoted for and all the right questions answered, genuinely couldnt have done it without your input.

Thanks lads

congratulations keep us posted with progress

 

[topquark]

Congratulations!

There's no sign of grey hair on the photo yet, so can't be all bad ... Can we have an after photo as well

Dare we ask (you don't have to answer) what price you went in with?

 

[wade88]

No i dont mind at all Murdoch, my final quote was £4590 inc mateirlas which have come to around £1000 so far.

My break down was pretty simple, £40 a point, £400 for 12 way CU and bonding etc, £250 for cooker and there were a few other bits but i dont have my estimate in front of me. She said it was a vast improvement on previous quotes and im happy with my walk away profit to be honest, so i guess im happy. Customer is getting a good price and is happy and i can buy my kid some nice xmas presents, so everyones a winner.

Ha oh i have a few grey hairs topquark dont worry about that! thats an old photo from when i was at university and nothing else to worry about but getting the round of beers in, life is a little different these days! no doubt after this next week or so i shall be sporting the silver fox look.

I dont understand why your bricking it:confused5:?

Its a domestic rewire, quite a simple enough task, Price is massive too and she said that was the cheapest?

Could get it done for half that price in the north east, i might move down south or maybe even commute i could make a killing by shamming these high prices

How long have you planned to do the job?

 

[Mr Mike]

Well done. Enjoy going to work !!!!!!!

I think it's a bit harsh trying to take a pop at the lad when we're all congratulating him - you had a first rewire one time in your life and I bet you had reservations too.

As for prices of rewires, no-one is being ripped off by sham rates down south - people tend to forget it costs us a heck of a lot more to live down here than up north. And there's nowt wrong with a bit o profit. Or did you plan to work for free?
