How Much Would It Cost To Pay Someone To Install Security Lighting & Timers?

Good evening all,

I wonder if you all could help me with this. I'm deciding to beef up my home security and needed some information on rates of pay for installation of Security Lighting and wall Light socket night and day timers. I have bought all the lighting required and timers.

I want a security light at the front (120W), Security flood light and the back (250W). I want both of these on wall socket Timer/Dimmers (Also bought these). i have also bought additional light wall socket timers for around the house to switch lights on when I'm not in at night.

I understand this will involve drilling, laying cable and the creation of 2 additional wall sockets to accommodate the Timer/Dimmers.

How much should I offer to pay someone trusted to do the job?

Thanks everyone.

    Why have you posted this twice?
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
  • A little more than when you posted the same job in 2013 I’d suspect :rotfl:

    timer suggests no pir, 370w with no pir for 8+ hours = big electricity bill, pir or led are cheaper to run. camera's at 1st floor level are useless at capturing anything useful such as a face
    Don't you dare criticise what you cannot understand
