Is this right?

[chillout]

A sparki is quoting approx £530inc for materials for a rewire for a 3 bed hse. Basically its for power cable, BT cable, conduit CT 100 cable, 2 way lighting cable & boards to upgrade a board to 17th edition. It sounds rather excessive to me or is this the normal rate??

why not get a second quote

It depends on which part of your post is the mistake.

Depends on the size of the property a three bedroom house consisting of how many other rooms: Any outdoor wiring / garages / ensuites / loos

too vague to comment

that's the materials alone not Labour or else it's a "bargin"

Sorry no I meant thats just for the materials, no labour. Its a standard 3 bed. No outside loos or anything. Im having a lantern front and back installed and a floodlight and thats about it. It just sounds alot for cable & conduit etc.

Ive had some quotes, going through them now, just that this guy seemed pretty good. But the materials sounds kinda excessive.

 

[elrobbo82]

thought by reading post that £530 for rewire and mats (labour + mats).
that's why i said be weary as it was stupidly cheap!!

just materials still seem cheap though!!!

Sounds cheap to me.

These are all approx prices off the top of my head.

CU £100
Meter tails £15
25m 10mm earth £25
200m 2.5 T&E £100
200m 1.5 T&E £80
50m 1.5 3 core £30
100m CT100 £40
100m 3pr cable £25
30 back boxes £30
sockets, switches, flex drops £80
phone & tv sockets £20

There you go thats your money without even including the outside lights. There will be plenty of other stuff I've forgotten too.

Sorry no its a std size, no outside loos etc, having some lanterns installed front back on the property and thats it. Had other quotes but this guy seemed pretty good but I cant see how it comes to so much for materials?

 

[chillout]

Sorry response was added twice there. Forgot to mention Im supplying all the switches & sockets.

 

[RF Lighting]

Well knock £80 quid off for them, and add say £50 for the out side lights. It's still near enough

 

[chillout]

Ah ok, just sounds alot.
