Replacing (RCD) fuse box

[Michael999]

How long would it take to replace a fuse box with a new(RCD) box?

Small 3 bed semi-detached house, with Aqualisa power showers,recently re-wired.

Why do I ask? I (upnorth) spoke to our trusted electrician who has done work for me and my familyfor the past 20 years and asked him for a price and he told me £100 for partsand 3 hours labour £100 total £200. Myson (down south) who is buying the house that needs (according to the surveyor)a new RCD unit has been quoted £350.

The price of materials is the same in the north as it is inthe south does the cost of labour vary across the country?

TIA

Mike

I might also consider shoving my last insurance renewal up there as well for good measure.

I'd prefer to shove a Part P renewal up there but that may give some the wrong impression

lol

Prime donnes!

Some of you need some reality pills. Because you can charge someone £400 for an easy sub 5 hours work doesn't mean that you deserve it. You are not highly trained, highly qualified, doing a job that only the most intelligent can do. You all know and I know how much time and effort it takes to qualify as an electrician . . you need nothing more than average intelligence and three years part time study. Ninety percent of the population could do what you do after a few months training. Nurses need to study longer and harder, teachers need higher qualifications; you can charge what you like but if you are charging more than £30 and hour for your 'expertise' you are simply ripping off your customers. That's OK, you are not alone, I (the customer) have been ripped off many times I know it and you know it.

Each and everyone of my posts does not appear until it has been checked by a moderator hence it's about one a day!

Feeling better now after that?

I especially enjoyed the average intelligence and a few years part time study bit

Some arab will buy the whole premiership sooner or later and throw a load of cash around. Then it'll burst just like the south sea bubble did.

Read this thread afew times since the OP's ill informed rant....avoided posting due to not really likeing the ban hammer so all i'll add for the OP is...Nugget.

The rant annoyed me...but the talk of football tipped the annoyance scales even more....being a Forest fan for many years i try to stay in the past and ignore the present game

this clown probably flies a desk....perhaps he should fly a kite....(in a good wind with thunder overhead)....that should give him an intro into potentials...with a bit of luck...

Great laugh, go to the pub and this lot happens. I reckon he is a plumber or a plasterer out for revenge.

I think the a nice mod should spam his IP with offers from Screwfix

I think we best leave it there.

We've all said what we wanted to say.
