Install spot lights?

Hi,

We are moving into a house that needs a new fitted kitchen and as part of our refurb we would like to install a few spot lights underneath the wall cabinets to light up the sink and the work top. The fuse box ect are on the same wall as the lights we need (inside one of the kitchen cupboards :rolleyes: ) so the cables wouldn't have far to go. Does anyone have a rough idea of how much an electrician might charge for this work?

Thanks :D

  • I charge £25-£35 per spot light, including labour and materials, and certification.

    I prefer NOT to use diy store spots as they can be poor quality, and as with all things in life you generally get what you pay for.
    baldly going on...
