Absolutely no way, they are being paid for the job.

but you'll always accept a brew. that's a tip of sorts.

As long as you inform HMRC of the tips you receive so they can take more money off you...

Well.... the rewire has been quite the journey! Currently out of the house and hoping that tomorrow will be the last day of the job.

I’ve never done this before so can I ask - are you meant to tip a sparky?

Most of us electricians as well as earning a good living out of our profession want to do a job we can look back and be proud of eg. stick our chest out and say we did you a good job there for a competitive price now we've finished this job give us another go. If you are pleased with the rewire the electrician has done and has been accommodating to your needs it is always good to have a pat on the back ,we don't want to be loved just appreciated.

Thanks all - I went with some nice beers, a bottle of wine for his Mrs who had been doing the clean-up and some chocolate buttons for their little one.

House is now officially re-wired! Thanks to everyone for advice throughout, its been much appreciated.

I’d get at least 1-2 a week, sometimes it’s a fiver or tenner to get yourself a drink, the other day was £15 to get myself and the apprentice lunch.

The randomest thing was early this year a lady gave me a Xmas tree brand new in the box lol

Gonna get used this year instead of the stupid fibre optic one lol

Glad it has all gone well Annabelle and thanks for the feedback we don't often hear about the outcomes.

Is that the first satisfied customer we've had, if not one of the fist positive feedbacks. Its good to talk.
