What Biff said.

It's nearly impossible to price a job accurately without seeing it first.
In the same way you wouldn't be able to give a price for a job like that over the phone, nobody here can help you with a comparative price.

 

[electric will]

65 pounds?

 

[telectrix]

i'd make a serious estimate of £500 - £750, allowing for 2 days work.

 

[SYKRAPS]

Why don't you do it on time and materials if you are not used to quoting.

Just need to agree an hourly rate then ;-)))

It all depends on how much time is needed to add the 3 sockets to the ring, wire the garage, and install the earth wires to gas and water. The board cost and replacement 10 single to double sockets are fairly easy to price, changing 4 lights also fairly straight forward, you need to see the job to estimate whats involved with the labour for the wiring aspect.

It certainely sounds like 2-3 days work, and thats the thing here with this Job, whether it is 2 or 3 days????????????????

Work out material costs add 15% then charge for your time, don't forget it all needs to be signed off to comply so if your not niceic or any other governing body allow an extra couple of hundred pound for building control
