Isolator switch quote

Heyup,
We need the electrics upgrading in our house and the electrician quoted £800, but wants an isolator switch fitted. Our current supplier put me in touch with foxglove energy who want £144 for this work. Western Power, the network operator want £206.
My crafty plan is to switch supplier to Eon as they fit isolators for about £65, and then switch back a few weeks later. Anyone tried this approach? Surely there must be a flaw in my plan!?

I assume there's a minimum service period when changing suppliers; have you checked?0

Haste fit isolators about £65, and no need to change supplier. (They're probably the people who do it for Eon, or even for Western Power ...)
