It depends on your level of organisational ability, paranoia and
personal skills.

I'd be chatting with personally recommended 'leccy, CH bod and probably
other tradesmen myself, but then again, I've got a reasonable knowledge
of how things can go wrong and what to check for.

A lead contractor will be using his own preferred subbies, who he will
know and trust, but will add a bit on to what they charge him.

Swings and roundabouts. Pay a bit more, worry a bit less.
