I need the following jobs doing.....
1. install henley block and new 2-way fuse box
2. run a cable 6 metres and wire to an existing immersion heater
3. run second cable to back of house and drill hole through exterior wall
4. fix second cable to new swa cable which I will have already laid and buried in the garden to shed.
5. install 3 x sockets and 1 x light in shed.
I have had 4 electricians out - 3 have not bother submitting a quote. One has given a quote - £350 for parts (including 40m of swa cable) which I have priced up for £200 on the internet.
But wait for it!!!!! £350 for the 1 days labour to do the work. That is what I earn as a teacher in a week!!!
Total price £700 - is it me or is this daylight robbery! I am in the wrong job!
