[Badger]

lets face it, the c/u wont be changed, earthing upgrade wont be done, and the lighting will get extended with no earth same as ring main, 4mm will be used instead of 10mm, and the sockets will run as spurs from the existing ring main twin socket in the dinning room wall.

Welllllllll.

WE know all that work can`t / won`t be done properly for that price. All you can do is make the customer aware of your concerns and, as Andy says, leave your details for them to contact you as & when the inevitable corck-up occurs.

It's mad isn't it???

I was at a house today, he's having the kitchen replaced, but he's leaving the grotty old tiles (from the 90's).. to me that is the opportunity to get everything right.

People shouldn't be spending that much money then doing half a job
