Thanks for all the reply above. I will ask for the certificate before I pay the invoice. To JohnD: actually I didn't have any quote from him because he was recommended by my friend and he is my friend's brother-in-law. I trust my friend so I didn't ask for any quotation. The first...

Thanks. it's much clear now. So it's reasonable for an electrician to mark the materials up. He just marked too high than I expected this time. :( Yes I agree. It taught me a lessen. Always get a quote on paperwork before get an electrician in the house. The description of the work on...

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. 1) the cost doesn't include labour. Labour was invoiced as a seperated item as £573 (plus VAT£100.28). I checked B&Q website that 25m 10mm T&E cable cost £54.48. That's why I think 16m cable would only cost about £35. Again I don't know much about...

Hi, I have some electricity work done for my bathroom by an electrician. On the invoice 16m "10mm twin and earth cable" cost £320 ( plus VAT £56). I asked price question in this forum and told the electrician that the cable price was wrong. Now he revised invoice but still charge me more than I...

labour is seperated from parts. cost about 600 pounds for 2 and half days as he need to come back several times to do the project.

I suppose he miss-typed £20 for £2 per meter.

other charges seem reasonable, only some small parts (about 34 pounds in total). thank you!

thank you very much! I will ask him tomorrow. Get a little bit relaxed now as I didn't expect for such big amount to pay.

hi, I just got invoice of my bathroom electricity work. The 10mm twin and earth cable price surprised me: cost me 16m*20/m= 320 plus vat, the cable will cost me 376 pounds. (for electric shower) I have no idea if this price is correct or not. Because I searched tlc website and b&q website...

thanks for the reply. I will treat the surface before laying the underlay then.

I am going to use laminate flooring in Kitchen to replace the very old Vinyle. The surface is uneven concrete. have no idea use what kind of underlay? searched for previous post and found "TimberMate Excel" with DPM, is the DPM means Damp Proofing Membrane? Can I use this underlay...

well done! looks beautiful. btw, i am going to use Eproxy as well because the "boss" at home think the tanking kit is too expensive and decline my planning. :-(

thanks! i know there is one grout float in my local Toppstiles store reduced to 10.99 from 12.99. I might get that one when i pick up my tiles tomorrow. wait to see the pics of your new bathroom. :-)

yes, that's a good idea/

also a question, do you think the 2mm space between tiles will make the job more difficult than using bigger space?
