Rough Electrical Estimate

SquirrelJ

I live in the Yorkshire area and I am after an electrician to fit me a new circuit board and 5 new double sockets. I have had 2 electricians around so far but not heard back with a quote yet.

I really need to do roughly what this will cost does anyone have any ideas???

Cheers

Hi I had a new circuit board fitted 2 permanent smoke alarms fitted the shower switched moved a socket fitted and an eletrical safety cert issued. 1000 pounds roughly. The work is charged hourly and is about 25 pounds an hour (In Scotland anyway) Hope this helps

If the main bonding is ok and the installation is satisfactory condition, £500 imo.

P.S Think I might move to Scotland

So it took a week (40hrs) to do the work you asked for. You were ripped off.

Rough
New consumer unit (16th Edition) £250
New consumer unti (17th Edition) £350

Main bonding £40-£150, depending on time / hassle

sockets £35 per outlet

so 5 sockets = £175
cons unit = £250
bonding = £75

Approx = £470

ps I would suggest mains smoke detectors £130 for 2 wired approx)

i got another one around and he suggested a few extras that i quite liked and he quoted me £950.

3 Smoke alarms attached to mains
1 New Circuit Board
3 Wall lights
1 Shower connection (so i can have a shower over the bath)
6 Spotlights in kitchen currently only have one main light
4 new double sockets in one room
5 new double sockets in various other rooms.
