What do you think of these prices?

hmmmm. a consumer unit is a fuse board? but it hasn't got fuses! technical advancement means it's got MCBs. and his explanation of correct earthing beggars belief.

He is the king of socket installers and has a very comprehensive veiw of us "others"

ll this checking can take far longer than the actual job the sparks came to do in the first place and can easily double the price. So a lot of sparks are prepared to ignore the potential legal repercussions, dispense with the expensive testing and therefore be much cheaper than their conscientious rivals.

BUT they should still hand over an electrical safety certificate (which they will obviously not do unless you know about it and ask them for one) and if the house burns down they will be heavily in the mire (putting it politely).

i have heard that ruthless,"make money at all costs people" tend to slag off the opposition,but he doesn't pull the punches

Expensive on the rewire....

Expensive on the rewire....

most firms would aim for 4/5 days ) for two sparks (at the most, if it were a council rewire prob about 20 mins)

 

[telectrix]

i'd have gone for 7 days on the rewire, me and a mate. £3000 -£3300

PMSL, does Scotland get £100 a day more?

Well yes, it's all relative

Is this real or is one of you guys just winding the rest of us up!!! My brother the gardener in bristol is over charging and I'm under charging for rewires in london!! Could this be the time to put up my prices and loose more custom to the eastern brotherhood! Or maybe I shouldn't take any notice, just stick the light bulbs back in when I finish testing the fuse box?!
