Means nothing - they will only have been verifying polarity, and possibly (though not probably) Earth fault loop impedance at that point.coffeehound said:A sticker on the board indicates a socket safety test was c/o in 2008 when the meter was fitted, but that's 15 yrs ago now..1 -

All I can say to you is that putting it off isn't going to make it any cheaper. On the face of it (without any information) it seems a very fair price - in fact quite cheap if anything.

Is that with them having to work around you living in the house? It may be cheaper if you move out for a while.
If it sticks, force it.
