Hello

My parents need to get some lighting work done/updating in their house. There are in total 10 lightfittings and an outside porch light. They have received the following quote (which seems to include more than was requested). Is anyone able to let me know if they think this is reasonable please or whether I should be able to get a better price. I am a bit "in the dark" with this sort of thing!

Many thanks for your comments.

- Thames Water meter rip off?

  Exactly that. From all their communications at the time I just assumed it was something that was going to be done anyway so I just went along with it. As per Froggy’s suggestion above I just went out to have a look at the readings (for the first time ever!) and it said 000078,231. That’s for just short of three years. I’ve no idea how that would translate to an actual bill though.

  Thanks both! Unfortunately my mobile doesn't support a charging mat. I will try the place by the station, which is more convenient for me than Forest Hill Road I'm avoiding Rye Lane as my daughter had a very bad experience at one of the shops there (I think it was a battery replacement and the "new" battery failed almost immediately. Unfortunately she doesn't live in London and couldn't take it back) and there are so many I don't know which may be ok.

  No, unlike power meters they can force one on you, whether you want one or not. They did on me, and it's on the stopcock in the pavement outside my house. They can also force you to accept metered charges.

  They said you didn’t have a meter even though you did? Utterly bizarre. I also thought that the water company wasn’t allowed to fit a meter unless you asked for one.
