Hi all, Can anyone please advise. I am having a dispute with the supply equipment into my house. I have two boxes beloning to the supply company - one is the meter this is connected in one direction to my fuse box and in the other direction to a big plastic box which takes the supply...

Well done boy sitting at the back. I was wondering who would notice that first!! :D Now everyone, write it out a hundred times in the back of your books! :wink:

Ok, good points - try and get more quotes. So far I have phoned six electricians, four have come to price up, only one has given a price - so I am trying. People have focused on the £350 - remember this was only for the labour - he actually wanted £700 for the job including the materials...

Blimey, light fuse, retire to safe distance. I did not mean to cause people all this stress when I asked the first question. Just after some advice - and i was very grateful for the time people took to help me out. I think I shall actually go for some solar panels and a shift system of...

Thanks Dingbat. I will get on to a more reputable sparky and get a quote for doing the job properly.

The direct quotation was that it technically did not need a Part P as as it was only a fused spur and that he would not bother. Correct, he is not registered. This job was going to cost about £220 done his way. - But that was with me doing the work to bury the cable. I know what you...

It will be a bit of a pain to run a new cable through the house back to the consumer unit - but not impossible - just have to find an appropriate place for a hole in the wall. Then it is just the increased cost of the cable for the extra length. Also all the fuse bays (correct term?) in the...

Hi, I have just had a quote for isntalling electrics in my shed / workshop. But what he has said seems to conflict with some advice I have found online. Could anyone shed some extra light on the issue? He wants to supply the shed with a spur off the ktichen sockets. The kitchen sockets are...
