If you want to do the work yourself, you have to submit an application to building control who should oversee the work and arrange for a test and inspection when it is complete. You would be wise to have a copy of the IEE onsite guide 17th Edition to hand as this would ensure that you comply...

BAS, i think you are getting grumpy because it is past your bedtime. Enjoy dreaming of your full plans application fees.

I found two for under £ 170 WHICH IS CLOSE ENOUGH. I still don't understand what this has to do with Full Plans. This is an Idea you have invented, and not one I have suggested. Let go. Find something better to do.

Thats true, Ban all Sheds is probably just plain autistic.

Ok maybe you can read a bit and add up, but you are still only a high functioning autistic, aspergers at best.

Ban all sheds, if you can't do maths or read, how did you become an electrician?

For an electrician, on domestic work, I would expect a daily rate of between £ 150 and £ 250.

I never even mentioned a full plans application, I mentioned a saving of £500 which was based on him doing the work himself instead of paying well over the odds. In answer to your question concerning a restaurant, I wouldn't spend £ 700 on a meal so I wouldn't spend much time making a...

Ban all sheds. Doing the work under a building notice has worked for me on at least three occasions. It is not risky, it is not lunacy provided that you follow the iee onsite guide and have some common sense. Not very risky and a reward of about five five hundred saved.

If pricing of this type is at all reasonable, why do I get charged about half what Joe public does just because I employ subbies all the time. £ 700 for that job is excessive and if I were 3.14, I would do the job under a building notice instead of employing an electrician to do it.

The electrician who does my extensions and build projects would charge £200 for a day to travel and do that. He would also give details of exactly what you needed to buy and where would be easiest to get it from. If he had it on his van already, then he would charge it at cost. I bet we are...

Contact your local trading standards. CORGI are toothless when it comes to anything other than dealing with unregistered traders. Wrong given they should be protecting the public from all dangerous installations. Trading standards have the power to strip traders of their right to operate...
