rewire costs

ch3f

First post have posted a couple of items for comment. (Happy to post more if asked) (have added following feedback )

I am having a complete rewire of a large 3 bed dormer bungalow the electrican has to do no chasing or replastering or lifting floorboards etc (The house has been gutted and the builder is making it as easy as possible for him) (The electrician will be using 2 apprentices to do most of the work)
I have been quoted the following can you advise how reasonable this is, I was advised that this is a much reduced rate.

The work is not in London and travel time is minimal.

Total cost is £7637 (excluding VAT) and it includes all below plus wiring and testing and certifying

total with VAT is £8782.55

Thank you

Cannot read the quote, but get another 2 in and see what they say. Has the builder recommend anyone?

Hi Mr Kennedy

Thanks for the post and advice.

I have now reformatted the costs

will-he-payitoff

Do you have a total price for rewire? Do the costs you have listed include wiring? Is testing included in this price?

Hi will-he-payitoff vbmenu_register("postmenu_19541163", true);

Thanks for comments

I have adjusted original post to clarify points you raised.

I wouldn't touch this job 'deta' = problems in future

The price seems fair, but I may suggest (as you will have to live there) you change the manufacturer to someone like GET.

Much better quality- less hassle and better design
( I would have suggested Mk, but they have went downhill recently, with the exception of their consumer units ; these are still decent kit)

Looks a bit expensive to me, where are you based


These are for the alarm

5 x Pir detectors£175
2 x keypads£80
2 x door contacts£60
2 x bell boxes£140
1 x panel & batteries £100

What are these for

Are you sure about the price for this?

1 x un switched fuse spur outlets £351

I have edited the first post to reflect your feedback

Alarm
5 x Pir detectors£175
2 x keypads£80

Plus this price did not include VAT ( I have put on the total including VAT)

I really appreciate all the feedback.

cheers

Additional info was told this was cost for job plus small profit and the normal price would be £12,757 plus VAT

I find this very hard to believe in a empty house (Additional info was told this was cost for job plus small profit and the normal price would be £12,757 plus VAT). Also are you really having 52 twin sockets? how many rooms have you got. I would get some more quotes.

These prioces are unbelievable! Even allowing for the fact that southern softies like paying over the odds.

The materials don't make sense either.... a 9way CU full of 6A breakers? and the sockets are fed from?.......................
