    How many Downlights can an electrician install in a day?

    Also for what it's worth I charge almost half an hour labour when I'm changing existing downlights with existing holes (unless I'm doing loads of them) so I don't think you'd have saved much by going fixed rate (unless my prices are untypical, but they certainly don't prevent me getting work).

    How many Downlights can an electrician install in a day?

    On average it would take less time to do that for most of us but there are a lot of variables and yours may not be an average job, for example: 1. The wiring for the downlights would likely not have been accessible or tested the day before. Could some of it needed replacing? 2. Some downlights...

    HISPEC Mains-Rf Smoke detectors

    I've fitted a number of them and the only time I've had an issue is when I used them on a rewire and was going back to fit the heads (which I'd left wrapped up in a cupboard) after the rest of the building work was finished and the owner had decided to put them on without asking and had managed...

    Pricing for a job need help

    If it's really that bad (and a quick Google of electricians in Rainham suggests not, absolute cheapest I could find was £170 a day), why not advertise in London? I occasionally go to North London (from Greater Manchester) to do domestic rewires and make about £500/£600 a day even after taking...

    One Confused Builder. Maybe a fun one for trainees....

    Only a limitation of the tester in the sense that presumably it doesn't measure voltages below 12v (haven't got a fluke so wouldn't know for certain) - unless TT the voltage to earth at that point in the circuit would surely only be a couple of volts and probably less with a 500 ohm load. Of...

    That MK Rapid Fix socket thing

    I don't use them myself (yet) on the basis that they'd only save me about 2 minutes a socket and hence are worth about £2 to me and cost £3 more than my go to sockets (Click Mode).

    Vent Axia Svara is supposed to be very quiet, is very powerful, and can be ceiling mounted. Expensive though and not sure what the max ducting run is.
