Rough quote?

[WarwickApp]

Hi folks, I’ve been asked to change some accessories and I’ve no clue what to charge, just wondering if anybody could give me a rough quote? All the accessories are flat plate and screwless but it’s on freshly plastered walls.

The accessories to change are;
17 x twin sockets
2 x switched fused spurs
4 x 1 gang light switches
2 x 1 gang dimmer switches
2 x 2 gang light switches
1 x BT point

Im not interested in taking into account mileage/fuel etc, just for the labour. Also customer is supplying accessories.

Thanks in advance guys.

I did a job like this just over a year ago, 40 plates altogether: 2G skts, 1G/2G light switches, SFCUs/FCUs and a couple of shaver sockets. Not flat plate, but low profile decorative. Took me 7 hours; charged for a bag of pattress screw extenders and replaced a fast fix box. Client inspected every one. I was relatively lucky as the existing cables had been nicely (professionally) dressed, and the locations of most of the terminals wasn't too far out from the old fittings.

Still one of the dullest, most tedious days of my working life so far. It just seemed to take forever.

All I can add to this be careful because you never know what you are going to run into. I would say 2 days so you won’t be rushed and miss something. Good luck with your project

It's your delusions that are the problem, from someone with no qualifications you deem you are able to give people advise, you may well be able to converse in French better than I, but to use that to score points is really taking the proverbial on a UK Forum.

'Delusions'? What delusions? Saying what I would charge if i were doing the job as a qualified person?
Am i allowed to say what the price would be on average even though i'm not qualified?

Or you mean consistently putting you right on the parts of French legislation that you clearly don't understand properly? Like i said, you seem salty and to come in waving the 'you're not even qualified' flag and specifically mentioning signing off non-notifiable work without contributing anything else to the thread was your attempt at a cheap shot, trying to put me down for not being in your club. It was pretty pathetic and uncalled for to be honest, and just shows how petty you are. I dunno, maybe you have a thing about being wrong about notifiable work since you appear to not know the rules on either side of the channel. So much for being qualified. And to then try to bring up me mentioning things as point scoring when i was happily minding my own business in this thread is laughable.

Yes, I'm not qualified...yet. I'm a trainee. And everyone here knows it. Yet you tried to put down a trainee on a public forum to make yourself feel better. Very sad. Your comment is water off a duck's back.

I'd be interested to know where you have consistently put me right on French legislation.

Would have been nice if you said in this thread what price you thought as well TBH, Lets hope you looked at the existing wiring first to make sure there are CPCs in the cabling and the DB is not 50 years old

He mentioned in the original post it had been rewired and re plastered

The original post mentions "freshly plastered walls" but I'm not seeing rewiring actually stated - it may be, or that may just be wishful thinking. He does mention "flat plate" so lets also hope the plastering is good, with no bumps and dips, or the flat plates might start popping off.

Oh yea your right, no idea where I got that from then ??‍

 

[hasel5]

Fresh plastered prob means plastered in situ

 

[Zerax]

FWIW... I was freshly plastered last night !

 

[hasel5]

Chance of the a sniff of the barmaids apron would get me plastered these days

Umm yes, I missed that. Perhaps the OP, if still following this, will update us, assuming they quoted and got the job.
