Things an Electrician would never say

£900 to rewire your house? sure i can match that.
i quoted £2000 for a 3 bed bungalow and was told i was told i was trying it on.

900 quid for a rewire what a con, i would of done it for a pint and a packet of crisps materials included.

seeing as they expected me to do it whilst they were still living there, and the loft was that full of crap i could only get my head up for a look, i thought it was quite reasonable.

Just remember... You get what you pay for.

 

[gutterball]

that's the trouble people want cheap.
i priced a job the other day for outside lights and gave them a range of prices. recommended a good quality light that would have lasted 10 or 20 years, but no they wanted the cheap ones that will probably be knackered after 5.

Dont worry about us love, me and plasterers get along just great!

Of course it's fine to use my cable, knotted up, to hang your lead-lamp on.

Of course it's ok to use my snips to pull the nails out of that wall....after all thats what they are meant for!

Earth Bonding is always straightforward when you follow the regs.

You are right, your bonding doesn't need doing. Glad you have a mate down the pub who does a few jobs on the side to put me right. Tell you what seeing as he has pointed me in the right direction I will match his price now.

Course its ok for your son to have a bath after I,ve just pulled up the bathroom floor,I didn,t need to get in there anyway.(that actually happened) lol

 

[Geordie Spark]

Of course I can tell you which way your house is facing just by looking at the photograph you've posted on the Electricians' Forum sir.

 

[Vegelen]

Your Himalayan roof with Dorma windows will be perfect for solar.

Please don't interupt me while I'm talking to the electricity.

 

[miserly]

That's it Madam,just keep the green and yellow string wet.

 

[tidyboiler]

No thanks, I won't have a bacon sandwich and a cuppa...........

 

[MarkieSparkie]

Of course your house doesn't need a rewire madam, when you can just get Buffalo Bill from the Darby and Joan club to 'Tune it in' for you for £20.

 

[Paullestrange]
