Hi all,
Have had a single Storey extension done out the back of my 1970s Seimi-Detached house. Builder arranged an electrician, do to first and second fix but he was very vague about how much any extras were going to cost. I kept asking but it was all a rush as he just turned up to do the job on the day.
I expected the extras to be a few hundred quid.
When I got the bill for the "extras" I was godsmacked- can you let me know if this is reasonable.
Note these were done as first and second fix.
7 Twin Sockets
TV point - e.g. Arial Socket- run into loft, but not connected to Arial.
Hob Spur for oven
Hood Spur for oven
4 Kitchen lights
2 Wall lights
1 Centre light
Main earth wire changed
Mails tail + main earth
External Twin socket
The bill for these "extras" was just short of £1000.
If I have been ripped off, what can I do about it? I havnt paid the bill yet, and was going to write him a letter saying I thought it seemed too much money. (compared to my sisters large 3 bed house, which she had totally rewired, 1st, 2nd fix and a burgular alarm too for £800.
