Looking for some advice on a good quality LED mains downlighter. I have used Haler H2 Pro in last couple of property refurbs and they have been great quality but expensive at £30 a pop. I need 24 for my next refurb and don't fancy paying £600 if there are alternatives that can be recommended.

Prenticeboyofderry, many thanks for taking the time to share your experience. This is the same as my initial estimate of 10 days at £200 per day.

As a landlord I have trade accounts with merchants, however most of the leds and sockets are needed from specialist retailers to match rest of the house.

Thanks for your reply. As with my other post on electrics I tied to the builders chosen plumber who is charging £2900 inc Vat

The jobs involves 52 installs mostly LEDS with 10 double sockets and a handful of smoke/heat alarms. New consumer unit already installed and easily accessible for new circuits. Electrician priced only labour and wire. Quote is £3600 inc V and works out at £70 per install.

RF- I should advise that I'm supplying all the materials ie sockets, lights, smoke alarms etc. The price is labour only plus wire/ trunking.

Many thanks RF Lighting, can I ask how that would compare to the £3600 being charged.

The 6x9 space is open plan kitchen/ dining living. Upstairs a bedroom and toilet and small hall to be created from existing open space. In response to EFLI- my guess is the builder is charging a management fee hence his reluctance to show me quote and to allow me to pay electrician direct to...

The extension is approx 6m X 9m with no issues with cable routing back to consumer unit. Some electrics need to be added to existing house but only approx 15 installs of leds.

John, Many thanks for this, in your experience roughly, on a new extension how many new installs per day would you be looking at as the norm. Thanks Tony

In this case its a new extension on a bungalow and my chosen builders advised that the electrical work will be sub contracted to his chosen electrician and involves 52 separate installations mainly downlights and sockets on a labour only basis that is being quoted at £3600 inc Vat.

Can anybody advise what's the norm in electrical pricing is it based on a daily rate or calculated on a price per socket/light fitting installed. Any guidance on what these rates should be?

Have a builder selected for a basement conversion who has advised me that the electrical work on the job will be sub contracted to a self employed electrician. The quote supplied is more than 2.5 times what the builder estimated himself during the tender process and I have asked for this to be...
