@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

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
