My first CU change!!

[She]

Hello friends! My second post! So im just about to take on my first CU change over in SW London. Whats a good price for a full test and inspect, CU change over inc certs. Been looking on here at other posts but confused and the price gaps are massive?! Thanks Kellie :crazy:

and our labour rate has to support premises, van costs, test equipment, insurances, BS publications, tools,etc. what's the difference?

add: a garage's diagnostic tester is around £1000, a decent MFT is around £800. not too far apart?

There are some very good Electrical Trainee's (I've worked with a few), There is no such thing as a very good Electrical Trainee, Which say's a lot about you, if you reckon you've worked with a few!! the best thing they all have is the ability to ask if they don't understand....... That's because they ''NEED'' to ask, and that covers just about almost everything, going by the threads on this and other electrical forums!! unlike some of the know all time served fools I've also worked with, who wouldn't know safe isolation even if it kicked them in the family jewels. Yep maybe, ...and yet still most would have probably forgotten more than those Electrical Trainee have ever been taught!!

Survival of the fittest.......oh please....you just sound like a knuckle dragging brickies mate with comments like that.

She, as has already been said £350 - £400 for the cu change add £50 - £100+ for the meb's.....don't forget the pictures.[/QUOTE.l

You're trying to defend the undefendable. There is absolutely no place for under trained inexperienced wannabe's in this industry, going out there and working, (or should i say ''practicing'') in a trade they know far too little about, in unsuspecting people homes. END OF!!

Telectrix, again I look for no argument, you answered my very first post, I look for your contribution in each thread.But few(domestic) sparkies support working premises. ( In motor trade till '98)

agree with the working premises, but to counter that, the garage does not drive to your house in a vehicle to service your car ( unless it's a mobile service ). the independent garage i use charges £40/hour which i'm quite happy to pay. i'll never use main agents as they are a total rip off. example: a replacement dashboard bulb for my lady's renault £5.60 in main dealer. 99p in auto accessory shop.

What you doing with a bulb in your dashboard?

I thought bulbs were meant for gardens.
