6mm to 10mm shower cable.

We have bought a 10.8 shower which requires a cable upgrade. Could anybody give me an idea of a cable run of no more than 15metres from under the stairs up to the loft and down to the new shower.I understand the carpet has to be lifted etc. We are in southern england.

    From what I've had the most expensive part of electrical work is the laying the cable and the cost will depend a lot on what needs to be done. Will the cable need to be chased in, drill through walls and so on.

    Sorry I cant say how much maybe someone else can. Just get a few quotes and see.
    Nice to save.

    There are too many variables to give an effective price. It could be one man for half a day or 2 men for a whole day. So anything from £100 to £400 labour.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
