I did. One said testing for the electrical testing work in the extension would cost £300 fixed price. And I was completely happy with that. Another said similar. To install the 8 downlights only they quoted £200, which again I was completely happy with. They said the installation of downlights will not take more than 2 hours as all the testing and wiring would have been done by then. They said the testing will take them the longest. And to complete this whole job they said a day and a half.There is a contrbuting factor here, some people north of UK charge less then London,you could go on check a trade see what they say on the Webb page.
Me if the spark has not given you the correct price to which you want you should have got a few qoutes.
But the person I went with said daily rate of £300. So I thought as previous electricians have said it would take them a day and a half to do this job then this was a good deal. As it would have cost me £450.
But this electrician spent literally 2 hours on their phone talking to another client. He should have done that in his own time. In total it cost me £750 with him. Apologies I didn’t mention in my previous post that he took a day to test the electrical area before any works (which is fair) and then another day (where he was speaking to other clients and on his phone) to test the electrics after installation.
