Hi Guys,
Fitting a new Kitchen and have had the electrician in to fit new sockets,
8
doubles and 2 supplies for the cabinet lights.Also had him remove the old
strip light and fit a 4 way spot unit.Having a new 10 way consumer unit
fitted as well.He was able to tap into the kitchen ring from the room
above
which did mean lifting a few floorboards..He has channelled down from
above
for some of the sockets.We were a little taken aback when he quoted £1900
for this but as we need it done ASAP we have let him press on.Does this
sound pricey or has Part P shoved all prices up.We are in the East
midlands.

I think 50 quid a point and 50 quid per CU circuit is not unreasonable, as
they all cost time to chase, time to wire and money for the bits.

Thats £500 for the CU alone by my reckoning, and £500 for the kitchen
stuff..

1900 squids is about 2 weeks work alone, at modern prices, let alone the
bits.

So £50 per socket is a reasonable price. No wonder people are so ****ed at
PartP
A friend who is very competant at electrics & electronics is just about to
do his kitchen. Hes
loking to get 4 double power points put into the ring/existing ones moved, a
couple spirs for appliances and a couple fused
feed for the under cupboard lighting and the extraction fan. This would
equate to a good £300/£400+
or he could spend a weekend doing it himself, costing £50
