I need a new consumer board and I've had a few quotes for the work but I'm getting really confused.
The local elec co. did one of those free inspections. The guy was around for some time and condemed the existing consumer board and also found no bonding and couldn't even locate the earth rod (reckon it's under the floor boards myself).
Local elec co. then gave me a quote for the work and phoned back a few days later to say he'd cheked and PME was available for my house so knock £200 off the quote. So far so good.
Now the confusing bit. I get a quote from a local electrician who says yup can do all the work (new board, bonding etc) and swap me onto PME as it's availableand issue me the relevent part P certs.
Then another local elec. has given me a quote for twice the price but says I can't go PME and have to stay TT as elec board would need to do the swap to me to PME and I wouldn't be earthed in between the new board going in and the actual switch to PME He also says the price need to be higher as the house needs a coplmete elec check when the new board goes in.
Both the local sparks are NICEIC
Not sure what to think they can't both be right can they?
