Below is a quote.
Does it seem excessive? I dont want to find another sparky as hes a nice bloke and seems honest but it just doesnt seem to feel right
BATHROOM
option 1
Install four IP44 recessed spotlights.
Install a 4" wall mounted extract fan. The fan will have self closing shutters to reduce draughts.
Install a switched fused spur at height level within the bathroom to act as the fan isolator.
Install a twin switch to switch the light and fan independently. Switch to be installed external to the bathroom.
Total £344 inc VAT.
option2
As option 1 but with a better quality extract fan giving a much increased extract rate. The fan will be loft mounted and
a 4" extract vent will be installed in the bathroom ceiling. Insulated ducting will be used in the loft.
Add £88.60 inc VAT.
KITCHEN
Install eight recessed spot lights.
Install plinth lights.
Install under counter lights.
Ensure there is a power supply for the extract hood, oven, hob, dishwasher and washer.
Change all sockets etc to polished chrome.
Total £660 inc VAT.
CONSUMER UNIT (FUSE BOARD)
Not all circuits are RCD protected. RCD`s are devices that provide protection against electric shock and electric fires.
To meet the current requirements of BS7671 - iee wiring regulations I will have to install a RCBO for the kitchen
lighting circuit. RCBO`s are miniature circuit breakers with RCD protection built in.
The main earth conductor from the PME terminal in the meter box to the consumer unit is too small. It will need
replacing with a 16mm² earth cable.
The gas and water mains are not earthed. I will install a 10mm² earth cable form the consumer unit to the gas meter.
As the gas meter is so close this is an easy job. To earth the water main I will have to install a 20mm black plastic
conduit from the consumer unit to the water main . The conduit will be installed under the soffits.
Total £280 inc VAT.
