I take it that all are new circuits? & not knowing the layout of the place & assuming it's one bloke on his todd & cables are to be clipped direct & not chased in...... I'd go for 3-4 days.

3 to 5 days for a bloke providing everything is straight forward.

Stuff like upgrading MEBs will also take time, which is often not allowed for.

Hello thanks for your quick reply.
these are all new circuits, cables clipped.

He has quoted me about 4-5 days for 1 sparky and his helper, day rate of £200.

That seems fair.....must be paying the helper penuts.
