    Doesn't seem that unreasonable to be honest particularly if they do it when its delivered. £60 doesn't go far with any trade so unless you know an electrician (or have one thats recommended) I'd just pay it.
  • When you have paid comet you might need an Electrician anyway,They only "connect up" The supply needs to be right to start with.

    Do you already have a cooker point fitted? I would guess the comet price won't run in new cables for you if not.

    If you already have a cooker point, its actually a very easy job to connect (no more difficult than wiring a plug). You might know somebody that could do it for you?
