There's not a chance in hell that can pay unless the so called 'electrician' is only on minimum wage.

 

[TopTrumper]

GaryMo put it this way, all the positions are filled....my eyes popped out my head when he told me the prices....forgot to add, if you can test, you get another £30

'Putting you first' - yeah, I bet!

I can imaging what some of the work is like with the people they attract

 

[TopTrumper]

Main gas bonding £10
Supp bonding to a Combi £5
plumbers take the toilet out for the tiler £5

 

[GaryMo]

Supplementary bonding to the combi? Are we back in 1981??

 

[TopTrumper]

lol, it was on the list....although it seems like 1981 prices

Main gas bonding £10

Fine if the meter is next to the CU.

Supp bonding to a Combi £5

Not necessary, so just collect a fiver for doing nothing.

plumbers take the toilet out for the tiler £5

Taking it out with a 10lb sledgehamer is a quick and easy way.

I take it these are the prices to the tenent, and that the work is subsidised by the council?

 

[TopTrumper]

Tenant does not pay anything. They are council houses getting a bit of a refurb

 

[ColJack]

that has to be labour only then?
you can't even get a CU with breakers for £35...

 

[TopTrumper]

yes....all labour, materials provided

 

[londonboy]

I worked for a council on decent homes and we got £400 per kitchen ring, db, and wire combi controls.

£35 to change a db,
