@hellsbelly, My Apologies for such a late reply.


I did find someone, through a family member, who doesn't live locally.

He did it as a favour for us as we were a bit stuck and on a tight budget.

Unfortunately he's not looking to take on any more extra work otherwise i'd share his details as he is excellent.


As a guide, I had a few quotes from electricians through checkatrade etc and most came in around £3k and up! Some of them were telling me that I would HAVE to bury the cable which obviously adds a days digging labour on. Currently we just run it down the fence. Another large cost is the armoured cable. We opted for an armoured cable without an earth in it as it was much cheaper as it has 50m less cable in it. My guy has then earthed it to the ground using a copper Rod.


All in we hit £1.5k.

4 days @ £250 a day labour

+ £500 for all the parts

(armoured cable, switches, 10 double sockets, Consumer units etc).

All tested and certificate provided.


Hope you get yours sorted, if you have any more questions I'll try and reply a little faster this time!


Thank you

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
