[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 545853, member: 250"] I have been around in this trade for over 20+ years.. and I am well aware that dubious builders exist, dubious kitchen fitters exist, dubious bathroom fitters exist, dubious plumbers exist, dubious conservatory fitters exist, dubious loft-conversion contractors exist, etc.. and as your post suggests, dubious electricians do also exist!! (and my gut feeling is that dubious contractors from one trade generally mix with dubious colleagues from other trades..?) [ Side note: I have been previous involved in providing evidence for trading standards to prosecute a dubious electrician working for a dubious builder who were both ripping off a relative of one of my customers, after building and wiring of a two-story extension!! ] However whatever your personal opinions are.. the facts are as follows: your posts suggests you need to do an alteration to an electrical circuit.. (NOT just replace an existing fitting) So that comes under an alteration temporary or permanent as per. BS7671 wiring regs 132.16 & 411.3.1.2 If you don't have a copy to reference to in relation to any electrical work that you are charging customer for then it is available from Amazon at approx £80.. [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Requirements-Electrical-Installations-Regulations-Eighteenth/dp/1839532181/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XUP40PUE5J9Z&keywords=bs7671&qid=1685572014&sprefix=bs7671%2Caps%2C690&sr=8-1']https://www.amazon.co.uk/Requirements-Electrical-Installations-Regulations-Eighteenth/dp/1839532181/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XUP40PUE5J9Z&keywords=bs7671&qid=1685572014&sprefix=bs7671,aps,690&sr=8-1[/URL] Of course if a contractor is charging a customer for work they are not qualified to undertake, nor do they have access to copies of current relevant guidance / regulations, then some may suggest they could be classified as rouge traders/cowboy's? But without further evidence I could not comment either way.. (even if someone implies I do have my head up my bottom!!) Side Note#2: "Big jobs" OR "Small jobs".. Providing the hourly pay rate is correct I am happy to do, and will do any work.. large or small.. e.g. 1x 10hour job at £xx per hour is the same at 10x 1hour jobs at £xx per hour. Can't see any problem?? [/QUOTE]
