Kitchen fit electrician cost

johntaylor1980

Hi,

I will be getting a kitchen fitted soon, found the installer who is reasonable but an electrician wants 1K for his part. This is what is required:

-Move one light switch down 10 cm.
-Move power socket behind unit for dish washer.
-Make new socket for extractor fan.
-Make new socket for washing machine in the utility.
-Replace all sockets and switch faces (I have bought already)
-Place 6 down lights in the celling.

What cost should I be looking at for this and how long should it take? I am based in the Midlands.

No-one knows as they haven't seen your installation. It is certainly possible that a good bit of additional work is required in order to leave you with compliant and safe electrical installation work, and this can soon mount up in costs. I don't think £1,000 for electrical work in a kitchen is necessarily unreasonable - but as I say we really don't know the details.

Doesn't sound unreasonable as such, have you asked/ had a breakdown?
