    Where can I get advice on pricing domestic Electrical work?

    He said that he isnt qualified to do the certificate and i dont need one anyway? The house is empty while we have the work done. There is central heating going in, and we thought a rewire was best to happen while the house is back to bare walls and floorboards. It is all very messy as we now...

    Thanks for your reply. When you say about right, would you expect that to include the whole house including a kitchen? Or just what has been done? The location is just inside the M25 in bexley. I don't know if that changes things.

    I wish I hadn't but because it was a friend I totally, blindly trusted him. Even if I had only paid some of it I still agreed to his price. The second fix is yet to happen and I am not sure how to proceed.?

    Thats correct i paid him 5400 for the whole job. But he asked to settle up after the first fix so i trusted him so i paid him. I guess i really want to know has he betrayed my trust? Would anyone be willing to give me a rough ballpark figure for the job? Obviously all i can do is...

    Where can I get advice on pricing domestic Electrical work?

    I am not really sure anymore if he is a freind from what I hear. The problem is I trusted him to give me a fair price for the work, not cheap or put him out of pocket just an average price where he makes some money and i get a decent job done. I am willing to pay him what he asked. Which is what...

    Where can I get advice on pricing domestic Electrical work?

    Yes he is an electrician. I think he works for a company. He took holiday to do my house. He took 11days to do the first fix. He said 3-4 days for the second fix. He did say to me (after he started the work) that he can't sign off the work, I could get someone else to do that if I paid them...

    *I realise this thread may be in the wrong section ( sorry I didn't realise which section it was in at the time I posted it!) Thanks for the response, I have attached a photo of his breakdown ( which he gave me after I had paid him) He discounted the price from £6947 to £5400 as I was a...

    Where can I get advice on pricing domestic Electrical work?

    Hello, I am not an electrician but I hope someone can help me out? I have had some rewiring started at my house (a 3 bed semi). The work was done by a friend I've known for years, so I completely trusted him and didn't question his price. I paid him all the money at the end of the first fix. I...
