South east area For a property of that size usually around £350+vat Wylex or crabtree board, Supplied, fitted, certificated Maybe a little more if the main bonding needs installing/upgrading, i usually include this unless its a big job Prices will likely increase after christmas when new...

Well how ever you try and justify it, its just not done like that professionally Im not saying its against regs cause its not but given the choice why would you opt for that? Would you supply a towel rail from a shower circuit just cause its in a bathroom? Anyhoo I'm not here to preach...

What do you not understand mate?, an installation installed correctly to the 16th edition would satisfactorily pass an eicr based on the current 17th all it would have is a few c3 s due to rcd protection Who is talking about any other editions?????????? Agggghhhhhh!

It's not really the same thing is it, those examples are rediculous So you confirm you think that it would be good practice to spur off the cooker circuit in 2.5 to supply an extractor hood rather than to supply it from a ring final circuit

Do you think it's good practice to use a dedicated circuit to supply general various other appliances U must be a kitchen fitter

Errrmm obviously not, but it would from the 16th like I said, not sure what your getting at tbh

I would suggest that you get an electrician in and go through the job with him, tell him what you want and let HIM tell YOU what cabling etc you need, instead of guessing and asking random people on an internet forum who havent even seen the job He can then set out the job for you and get to...

The new code of C3 is essentially the same as the old 4 i dont understand your point Your are assessing the installation against the current regulations and although not fully compliant, would be satisfactory in outcome, if designed properly to the 16th How does it hide faults? Am i...

Why not split the supply side ofthe cooker circuit and fit an isolator switch for each, one for oven and one for hob both local to its own appliance If conditions permit you can upgrade mcb to 40A if required Can you not supply hood from ring final circuit Pulling it off the cooker...

I can always tell a diy enthusiasts house as soon as i walk in the door(usually to correct some lighting wiring) Not just talking about electrics, but it stands out a country mile when someone just simply refuses to get a proffessional job done, to save a few quid and has to look on youtube...

Why get at least 3 quotes?......what do i do then?.......you are seriously kidding me right! Obviously the more quotes you get the more of an idea of the rough cost of the job And by meeting the contractors face to face you should get a good first impression of them, thing is they are...

Sounds on the cheap side to me, but without seeing the job hard to tell get a few more quotes, get a few friends to give you recommendations, even if a spark is registered dont mean hes any good Also sites like trust a trader usually full of chancers too

Lol.....Maybe you should start supplying them to him and putting on a mark up yourself Seriously though if thats the case he needs to review his supplier But then again the amount of money a gas safe engineer earns hes probably not that bothered

You forgot rule no.1 make the tea on the hour!!! :)

As an electrician myself, i get a few of these calls a year and ill be honest with you I would like to think i am speaking from experience and from a general point of view of a working electrician trying to run a business I would not even entertain it, all it woud be in my eyes is a pain...
