who is buying materials ?

all inclusive in the price ;-)

Sound like a competative price if you are to supply all the materials. I have lost out recently on simillar specs - with the customer stating they have had prices less than 2k all in!! even if I buy the cheapest fittings I struggle at much less than 2.5k unless the house is unoccupied and I can crack on!!

Not yet started anew to have the personal experience but the impression I get from various forums etc is that the price would have been at least a grand higher down in the south-east.

Be careful of us Welsh sparks who do the rewires far cheaper,its not far to Shropshire you know

The averqage rewire in parts of these areas can be as low as 1800 and thats legal and above board
Chancers go even lower
Some of the prices bandied around about the south east are lottery wins to some of our people
