@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

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
