Install an electric shower in bungalow - price range

[electricnovice]

Hello - member of the public here again, so please be nice this time :smartass:

I can appreciate people wont want to give out quotes on a public site, but if doable I'd appreciate a 'price range' if that's ok.

For an electrician installing an electric shower in my Mum's bungalow bathroom, so that when quotes come to her she knows they are at least in the right ball-park area. Job outline is -

Supply and install 10.5kw Triton electric shower.
10mm cable, 40amp MCB.
Plumbing-pipework, isolator and connectors.
Electrical installation certificate.
Sundries and labour.
(quote without the VAT)

Water to the shower to feed off from a cold water pipe which spurs off from an electrically heated water tank unit.

Thank you. Anyone's help is really appreciated.

So if you buy anything from screwfix then you are a DIY'er? Bit of an odd statement?

How would you know!!!

Where I buy 10mm it's like £55-60 for 15m so £75 for 25m I get, what do you guys pay for 15m? And so they to what you want?

screwfix

10mm twin x10m = 27.55
25m = £60 -72incvat

your getting shafted there mate

Whats wrong with you people £550 steep ??? I would say about a grand provided customer supplies the shower.
You have to remember an honest sparks has to run a van as well as his car.
After all you won't see me fitting a roof rack to my Ferrari anytime soon.
And the wife would never expect me to use her Range Rover Vogue when she has the kids to pick up from school.
Honestly, what planet are you lot on :ihih:

Agree, but what do people pay at their wholesaler for 25m?

I think a 50m drum is around £80 at the moment.

 

[shanky887614]

drums tend to come in 50,100 or 500m drums depending on cable or in cut lengths

No decent spark would buy 25 meters!

Good job I'm not decent then cos I'll buy 25 if that's what I need

why buy 100m, use 20m, then have 80m in back of van for a month for any scumbag to nick?

All that weight would affect MPG too.

And the back, moving ii about.

My local wholesaler does not have a cutting charge if you have an account.
I buy drums of 6mm in 100mtr drums, 10 mm as usage dictates

Most wholesalers, once you've built up a rapport with them, won't charge a cutting charge.
