It wasn't directed at you, but those who made silly comments in response.JayS90 said:
It may be fairly obvious to yourself perhaps, but I have no concept of cost regarding this type of work so I wouldn’t be able to make that assumption. But I do appreciate your insight, that’s exactly why I came here for advice 🙂Risteard said:
As I pointed out it fairly obviously had to be for replacement of the distribution board.JayS90 said:Hi all,
Thanks everyone for your advice and comments. I spoke to him again and it turns out the quote was for a new consumer unit, supply and fit and also a certificate. Apparently I must have "misunderstood" him but he failed to explain this clearly to me otherwise I would have mentioned it in my initial post.
I'll definitely get a few more opinions and quotes from others, as he has essentially ignored my main concern which was the smell.
Regardless, I would expect him to explain things to me properly - especially as he took £80 from me and ultimately didn’t do much at all.1
