Give me one board change for £300 and 2x hours work rather than 2 @ £150 and x hours each any day!

This isn't the issue thou , like you I would rather quality over quantity and not rush about like a mad man
But the £150 cash job fella , will pay no scam fee , no insurance , no expensive testers to buy and keep serviced , no notification fee , no tax , no NI , provide no warranty etc
He or she will just pocket the £150 cash and move on to the next victim.
If you could even knock out 2 of these a weekend that's a nice £300 in the skyrocket for beer money
But that's 2 less board changes for a legit fully scam reg sparks to do
Unless you get the job like the OP who will now be paid to put it right

I think that is a bit unfair Pete a few good electricians on here get some of their materials from them (Lap stuff bottom of the quality threshold)

Never said they didn't Ant, Remember I worked there for a while, like I have seen what goes on, show a few meaningless certificates and you're a member, Joe public can buy the same gear from Screwfix that is also provided by Electrifix next door. Yes of course it's a good outlet for early bird good sparkies.

Afraid I agree with Pete. Screwedfix stuff is rubbish. BG and LAP is rubbish. Tool prices excessive and tool quality poor. All imho 
Ain’t saying the sparkies you refer to are not good.
I get better prices at proper wholesalers than screwedfix could ever offer.

It implied that buying from Screwfix you are a bodger which I don't think what you posted was what you wanted your post to say but I get the sentiment of it.
Quite special this, somebody has made there own bracket out of fixing band to hold the light fixture to the ceiling rose, wasn't a bad job to be honest apart from the earth not being attached.

Just had a scroll through thread and it does make you think whats the point some times, for example using compression glands, gromits, proper containment etc when people seem to get away with complete rubbish throwing it in and probably charging the same price

I've seen whole houses like this where the base of the pendants been tucked up because the home owner didn't know what to do with the wiring!

I can’t see one regulation that HAS been adhered to.
Is this a DIY bodge or a supposed electrician bodge?

I think that is probably the worst effort I've ever seen!! In the age of youtube I can't understand how its possible to get it so incredibly wrong!
If that work was paid for then this surely has to be one for Building Control to actually pursue and take action?
