New DB loaded with RCBOs

[john944]

Could someone tell me how much you would charge for a 12way Wylex DB loaded with RCBOs as new customer has been charged £1900 which I think is a bit steep

 

[Pete999]

How much for the materials, and how long to do the job, plus your mark up. 1900 scrots is a bit naughty imo
DP RCBOs? has the install been tested? Domestic? etc etc

 

[Richard Burns]

You are looking at about £500+VAT for the assembly and a full day maybe £300+VAT to install so a maximum of £1000inc unless there were other works going on or specific problems on the install.

They didn't give a breakdown of labour and materials, they took 7hrs and left a cert just thought I was charging to low on other jobs compered to them

Are you asking how much for the board alone, or the board with Install?

Ignore this just seen last post.

Cor blimey , how do people get away with that ......

£1900 is a complete rip off.

Last summer I did a 15 way Crabtree unit with RCBO's and it took 1.5 days - my bill was £905 including testing, and notification.

I would charge about 700 inc VAT but would get the board and rcbos for around £250.

 

[R G]

Thats about the same for me too.....

Wish I was earning that on a board change I would've come in at about £550 If there was no bonding to do etc based on a days work.

I'm finding that an upgrade to bonding is needed 9 times out of 10, and I rarely find an installation which hasn't got issues that need sorting. I reckon an average board change these days for me is anything between £800 and £1200

 

[tomspark93]

Do you agree that price before hand? I do think board changes will eventually go up as there can be a lot of unpredicted rubbish.

 

[westward10]

Test the installation first.

I agree total rip off I would say around £600 for materials with a little mark up so £1300 for 7 hours work around £185 an hour just a joke, £900 job in my eyes

In fairness if the pricing was agreed or never asked for then there isn't anything wrong with it. I certainly wouldn't criticise someone for charging good money for work. Unfortunately in many places it is hard to sustain fair (to the Electrician) charges.
