Yes there is cpc present
What’s “bondong”...... I don’t know, but I think I like it!Depends if all bondong is In place or would ya let go fat alan
Yeah literally just a straight swap no usb sockets are being installed just 3 sockets 2 Spurs 1 light switch and a cooker switch.It also depends if the new faceplates fit the mounting boxes! For example, if the new ones are flat plate with USBs and need 35mm boxes, but only 25mm boxes fitted!
Bonding, sorry alWhat’s ‘bondong’? As one of 007’s girlfriends? ??
That’s quite expensive per socket
Post #1 says price to exchange 7 fronts so £60 for the whole thing, any spark should be able to rattle that out in under an hourThat’s quite expensive per socket
Nothing some ideal splicelines or 2 port wagos and a bit of 2.5 can't sort, that would only be an estimate anyway, as with pricing anything blind, if it's a bunch of bastards behind each one then yea maybe longer, and if they're screwless flatplate and 25mm I wouldnt entertain itIt all depends, how well are the existing sockets terminated, sometimes the cores are cut ridiculously short inside the boxes then the L-N layout in the replacement sockets are configured opposite to the originals, then you get the kitchen accessories where some genius has tiled up to the edges so they're effectively grouted in. The list goes on.
I used to have a pal (RIP Malcolm) that could make a one hour job last all day, but I do miss him. LOL
Yeah met a few of them blokes ! (well still do) But yes for some strange reason you kinda miss them on occasion. Perhaps because they made me look goodI used to have a pal (RIP Malcolm) that could make a one hour job last all day, but I do miss him. LOL
I bought a house in France about twelve years ago and insured it for the purchase price, when I had a claim the insurance company said that the cost of re-building a house in France is approximately double if not more that the cost of buying an older property I was therefore underinsured, this is due to labour and material costs, most labours demand about €300.00/day, technical tradesmen can demand their own price due to lack of availability, but not unheard of to be charged €500.00/day for a rood tiler, electricians the sky's the limit.
You jest , but back in the late 90s early 00s I worked in Fulham & Chelsea for a good while for a contractor.Going rate for swapping a few plastic to metal?
If one the other threads on here is anything to go by, in London it could be £500 or more!
