Electrician question...

What should we expect to pay for the installation of two new ceiling lights? :confused: We bought some lovely new lights for the lounge / diner and OH started the job but then realised he was a little out of his depth :o

Anyone got any idea? :rolleyes:

    Is it to replace the existing lights in the same position ? Not recessed or low voltage or anything?

    If so it should be 1-2 hrs work max at about £30 - £40 per hour max. Depends where you are and exactly the type / position of the fittings.

    My rate has went up to £37.50 per hour (for me and apprentice)

    This job would be in the £40 area (probably just over the hour)
