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

This fella has got to be on the wind up , as surely no one can be such tool as he is being without any apparent comprehension of it !?:skep:

1st rule of trolling, never reply to your own thread.

 

[sparks1973]

Your reply does deserve a response but it comes in the form of this :dita:

Get it done by your mate up North, pay his expenses and don't get a cert or anything THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW!!!! (and it would cost you more!)

Some threads aren't worth the intelligence or effort that they get given and in "MY OPINION" this is most certainly one of them now truck off know it all!!!!!!!!

Sorry members but this poster has got my back up now! If it's that easy then perhaps he should get a leaflet from one of the sheds on "How to replace a consumer unit"

Trucking muppet!!!!!

Rick head!

yeah...like those `good idea` leaflets you can get from one of em......like Ooh!!...i`v just had a REALLY GOOD idea...think i`l just get a C/U and stick it to the wall (no more nails will do).....stick some cables in......jolly good....

I must apologise for my post, I hadn't read the previous posts after 999's due to just going through new posts and picking up his/hers post first.

Seems I'm not the only one that had an issue here so........

I think a hammer of sorts is required here and I'm not talking "Myhammer" I'm suggested a Super Mods BAN HAMMER LMAO :thumbsup

***Off to get a cider now, oooo arrgh oooo arrgh***

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.
Thankfully I follow a proper sport, rugby union

Eeee, I hope so. Be great to see Leeds back in the Premier.
My club back in the 70s when I was a scabby teenager.
They should never have sold Cantona!

well theres a lot of stuff that Leeds UTD shouldn`t have done Archy....like give Michael Dubious £30.000 Grand a week...one of the worst players ever to pull a Leeds shirt on.....

 

[Rockingit]

Well, with that much BS coming OUT of the OP, it shouldn't hurt him too much when I insert a rolled up BS7671 back IN.

Knob. Nuff said.

 

[Jimmy Boy]

I have just ordered some cable lube RG will that help with the insertion of said regs ?

I don't follow footie that closely, but I seem to remember there's been some serious F%$£ ups with them, they were in free fall at one point.

Are you kidding me?

This tool needs BS7671 to give him a DRY bare back riding followed by a good old shafting with the several editions of Part P of the Building Regs! lol

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

 

[sparks1973]

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

Didn't take you for a Rah,Rah, Trev.

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
