    Thanks I am in West Yorkshire if that makes a difference. So about £800 in total.

    The work is to take 2 full days whilst the kitchen is fully stripped - no units in - just bare 4 walls.

    He clearly hasn't offered a price for the 14 downlights so his estimate was incomplete.

    I assumed that was included in the £420 to put in 4 new sockets.

    So what extra for the downlights?
  • I usually price these things at £40 per item

    So an oven would be £80 (switch and outlet)

    What is more important is the electrician registered and compotent?

    It must be pointed out that that is very much on the cheap side and the OP cannot expect to get it at that sort of price.

    The electrician is registered.

    £40 per item - can you expand? For the work above is that £40 per light?
