Good evening.
Wonder if any sparkies out there can help me with this question. I have arranged for a local electrician to change an 20 year old
consumer unit with a new one. I told him I would supply the parts and I wanted to pay him for the labour. Bit confused at which one to buy. I have a small flat (one bedroom). I have ring main, lights and cooker circuits only. Might ask him ...

What is the average hourly rate for a qualified ( P ) sparks?
Having had several "estimates" for work I can only assume the going rate is about £60 an hour ??? This seems a bit excessive !! and would put these guys on £124,000 a year............... I am in the wrong trade???

Are 5ft 80 watt
fittings still available? No one seems to list them and the light output of the new 58 watt ones is pathetic in comparison.

Hi there,
I have just recieved a quote to re-wire the flat I have just bought. It is a very small
one bedroom flat (40 square metres in total) and the wiring is very old, so a rewire is neccessary it seems.
I have just recieved a quote for £1790 for the job, 'whole electrical installation including parts, labour and certificate. Exclusing sockets, switches, and lights.'
