These people make me laugh when they think nothing of spending £1000,s on new bathrooms,kitchens and their cars ,but ask for £300/400 for a consumer unit and they think your Dick Turpin!.S.

And therein lies why I can't do domestic work ! £300-£400 all in can't be a great earner by the time you've tested the existing, payed for materials and then installed and tested (never-mind any faults or other hassles on this "simple job"). I have no idea how you guys can deal with cunstomers on a daily basis. Hats of to you ! Must say I quite like the Dick Turpin/Adam Ant idea for PPE.
