£85-95 per ways for Fusebox SPD RCBOs CU replacement including EICR exclude any major rectification work and any additional job which quote separately all exclude VAT, just charge £200 for EICR if customer don't agree additional cost if any C2 or FI codes found. getting agreement in advance of carrying out EICR. if no fault found, just the fix price per way
Can you run through how you enter quotes etc on Tradify ? A full breakdown ? I know you have done a video once before but I mean in depth 👍. Cheers nick 👌
Just done a board relocation with an eicr prior for just under £800 .. not a full eicr , more an R1R2 and then an IR tbh and even then I thought I could’ve priced it higher .. pdf pricing would be a nice insight too ..
Your prices seem very fair Nick and comparable to our electrician in Chester. He did a board change upgrade to rcbos, and a kitchen rewire in 2021 for about 2k if memory serves with all the certificates etc. 8 sockets, two double pole isolaters, cooker point and two 2 way lighting circuits. 4 days work in total. 6 downlights and two led undercupboard striplights. All went well, was happy with price, materials quality and love the light on the cu cover
I work for one of the big 6 "cover" Contract company's getting 6 7 8 jobs a day, we quote and do upgrade work also but I really hate the time constraints we are put under for fuse board changes etc. Love your videos and more so the time you get to do a quality job 👏 ..

Cost of 8 RCBOs and board less than £200. 450 labour is nice and I agree what should be charged but unfortunately wouldn’t be competitive in coventry would be nearer 500. And that’s not for a vat reg spark
EICR before will mean you have a leg to stand on when issue occur later .. Like swapping out a RCD twin for a RCBO. with old wiring and stolen earths and neutrals will end up been a farce when it all starts tripping
I have been watching the channel for ages and was just contemplating the JCC light fittings just to find out their head office is just around the corner.
The roller door was too tall after the plasterboard was fitted. The simple thing would have been to cut a bit off the bottom of the door runner legs, rather than chop back the plasterboard.
Im around the same price as you, £750 for a board change, no vat. Ask for an additional £200 for an EICR just to check the condition and hopefully be able to do the board on the same day.
Hey mate, good work as always. Do you know where can I buy that rubber dust catcher you use (online if possible)? I've seen it a couple of times on TH-cam. Don't seem to be able to find one that size and material.
My price for all the work using a 14 Way FuseBox and RCBO/SPD and fitting outside light = £1,050 it would be slightly cheaper if I used the 10 Way around £50/£75 I live in Cotswolds and win most of my quotes
A couple of videos ago you asked about cutting Celotex and the like.....and here you are cutting it...really?? A discussion with the client about moisture and insulation etc... would be handy ...and also surface mount lights to avoid the building regs issue.
Never looked at it this way , But, Thinking...all things being equal . materials, to the regs , workmanship,etc.....Why pay more for same job....just wondering
Hey nick, as an apprentice i have a question for you. If you change the DB, dont you then become responsible for the entire installation? If so wouldnt you want to carry out a condition report so nothing bites you in the arse? I assume you do a quick walk about and do visuals as a minimum first?
I would say as long as the defects are listed on the installation certificate and customer is fully aware of the issues then you can change the consumer unit.
Why would you/should you become liable for the whole installation when you have only changed and improved one component ? Does a mechanic become liable for the brakes on a car if he changes the gearbox ? Your EIC is a certificate to cover YOUR installation- ie the CU. Your testing will need to cover each circuit however any remedial work is not your liability to correct or become liable for. That’s why the certification has ample opportunity to record notes and defects. As a minimum before starting any work you must verify/correct any earthing /bonding deficiencies (to be pay for by the customer)
nick just ignore the fools that act so high and mighty and keep saying that you are doing things wrong. let them show proof how qualified they are before acting like that

Would be a great idea to do that pdf as I think it would be interesting and I’d certainly learn from it mate, nice one!

How much time are you given for a board change?
Is it done per way & do you eicr after?

PDF for pricing would be great nick. would be very helpful
lol. Sad state of affairs that so many people are struggling to price basic domestic work. This is why there's so many shit firms out there.
@@Walktheline1991 what's sad?
Another great video as always. PDF regarding quoting would be awesome.
PDF on pricing would be great 👍 LOVE YOUR BLOG PAL
Hi Nick can you let me know if you do a PDF of the pricing 👍👍
Very interesting how everyone has there own way of pricing. I think with the cost of rcbo’s and boards atm £650 is the minimum now for say 8 circuits
Cost of 8 RCBOs and board less than £200. 450 labour is nice and I agree what should be charged but unfortunately wouldn’t be competitive in coventry would be nearer 500. And that’s not for a vat reg spark
EICR before will mean you have a leg to stand on when issue occur later .. Like
swapping out a RCD twin for a RCBO. with old wiring and stolen earths and neutrals will end up been a farce when it all starts tripping
I have been watching the channel for ages and was just contemplating the JCC light fittings just to find out their head office is just around the corner.
The DNO can insist those boards are removed and then can disconnect the power to those houses
What about the cost to renew the a 6mm bonding to gas and water ?
PDF on pricing would be great 👍
Hey mate, do you regret not getting under the lip and chin area filled with grafts? I reckon youd look way better
Contactum board .. if they do rcbo,s ..can't they just be retro fitted in the original board..?
I thought ‘Adam’s mum’ was coming up in the bit you were scrolling thru photos at the start.
The roller door was too tall after the plasterboard was fitted. The simple thing would have been to cut a bit off the bottom of the door runner legs, rather than chop back the plasterboard.
Where did you het the floor runners?
amazon mate look at the next video bud
@@NBundyElectrical thanks

Keep going mate, we all respect all that you do mate
Hey mate, good work as always. Do you know where can I buy that rubber dust catcher you use (online if possible)? I've seen it a couple of times on TH-cam. Don't seem to be able to find one that size and material.
It's called a DADE, I believe they sell them in CEF as well as online

It really doesn’t matter due the enormous hole next to the garage bud

As I said to Adam I am happy to give you a free vehicle valet
What’s that thing he’s holding?
Top bloke you are nick, keep the videos coming
it’s easier to get a doctor’s appointment that it is to get an electrician, they all state no job to big or small until you contact them
What do you do if you install new board and it starts tripping? Do you charge extra for finding the fault?
Do some tests before quoting... Usually a "light" eicr or you will be burnt! 😉 Been there done that.
That’s why u carry out an EICR before a board change … esp if fitting AFDD’s , u don’t want them fitted on rings as it’s just constant issues

Thanks for the replies. That makes sense thank you. I'm still learning and sometimes these comments are just as helpful as the videos. Cheers all.
make more pricing videos please
Haha 750 for wiring a big plug , I charge 1750 YAYAYAYA cash in hand

100K wooohoo
for £36,000 you do certification ,, buy materials, rewire and test yourself, notify Building Regs, and go to Bahamas 🤣🤣
Yh do the pdf please

1200/1500 board change , but I am super
