I'm currently looking to replace some regulation plastic light switches and sockets for chrome fittings. We have about 18no items throughout the house as follows:
4no double sockets
7no single sockets
3no single light switches
1no 2g light switch
2no 3g 2 way switches
1no Coax aerial socket
Our Sparky has quoted us £15 to replace each item totalling £270 ex parts. This is on the outskirts of Leeds.
All the areas will be clear of furniture and easily accessible. Does the price quoted seem reasonable?
Work will be certified and carried out by Part P electrician. Any recommendations for an an alternative sparky would also be appreciated.

For what is a couple of hours work, that sounds very expensive to me. I would get some more quotes if i were you.

I thought it maybe. Would love to get some more quotes, but would like them off reliable / recommended contacts. Not really something I have at the moment.
Anyone know of good sparks in Pudsey / West Leeds area?My farts hospitalize small children0
