LED Light Fitting

Had a quote from Electrician to fit 10 LED's, 8 in kitchen & 2 in the utility room (I'm supplying lights)... £620 :eek: certainly wasn't expecting that....

    Nowhere near enough information.

    Is he (or she) swapping existing fittings for the new LED's, or are they having to install from scratch?
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it
  • We have 2 existing 'ordinary' light fittings in kitchen & 1 in utility room, he said he could do the work from kitchen/utility ceiling as we are having it plastered flat when he is finished, as at present its artexed...
  • Get more quotes. That is too high. Just had 22 done for £800, new install, not replace. That is in Surrey.

    Though having said that, our chap wasn't making good (we want decorator to do it). If the work includes making good and plastering/redecorating where the ceiling is damaged it might not be too high. But, easiest thing to do is get more quotes!
