Rewire in London

[Evans Electric]

Just heard my quote is accepted for a rewire darn sarf in London  , might need a hand from anyone local to finish  it in two weeks . 

Some big house at the end of The Mall ,   quoted £5K    all the other quotes were just silly . :C  

 

[steptoe]

I was kinda hoping to provide the labour and manpower Deke if you could do the technical stuff and get the quote together for us,,,  

Seems you may have gazumped me and forgot just who got you where you are these days.........

 

[Blue Duck]

Did you quote on the surface in mini trunking? 

 

[steptoe]

Don't be fkn stoopid, that costs money, clip direct, not as if its an industrial unit where any damage can occur,,,,

:shakehead

You younguns,,,,,,

Sorry about that Stepps ... give us a hand if you like  , get it done in the two weeks .

Yeah just surface clipped T&E  and cheapo white accessories .   A few chandeliers need getting rid of , bit of a Delboy job I think,  then just fit 12" pendants. 

I think theres a spare room , we could doss down instead of big hotel bills. 

 

[Blue Duck]

Where you getting all the battern holders?? Ali baba?

Should make a mint in the scrappy.

 

[Evans Electric]

That was the idea Ducky ,   win the job with a low quote ..... get Stepps in there stripping out ... ,   load up the Robin Reliant  , down the scrappy ,  jobs a good'un .

Jayaus Deke, you undercut me by £300,!!!!

Not sure I want to work with that anymore, that's the 2nd time, you done the same with that terrace on downing st right after I'd priced and spec'd some sort of antit-terrorist room, you took £175 off me there too, for the sake of £2500,,,,,

So you've allowed for the 6500 sockets, 5000 light fittings and 100 miles of cable, I suppose you've lined up some EE personnel and told them the old girl who lives there will supply food and drink!! 

 

[Evans Electric]

Win some lose some Steppers ....... anyway the parking is non existent there .

OoooH !  Its not occupied is it ?     We only do unoccupied rewires these days. 

Thats right ,  its me , my mate Ray , the part time apprentice on tea and making sure we don't let the corgis out ...and Stepps  stripping out the tat .

Just need to order a 300 way , metal consumer unit now and we're away .

 

[steptoe]

Oh, occupied !

You're on your own Deke,

I'm not doing that, next thing they'll be wanting the £40 offcut carpet wetcleaned as well,,   , 

 

[Evans Electric]

Well if you're bailing out I am too ..................plus I just found out we must carry a £12 billion  PL insurance   and thats just for a couple of old paintings they have in there. 

 

[Sharpend]

Some job are more hassle than they're worth. 

 

[Blue Duck]

Probably jammed full of asbestos anyway, as it's out for public tender jus let's the EE's get on with it.

 

[kerching]

I wonder if they will,be using CHINT or CED boards?

CGD may be a bit too expensive, although they do manufacture a special,Alabaster and Ormalou variant ( but it's another tenner on top)

i wonder how much OVER BUDGET it will finally come in at!

 

[Slowhand]

There's a good pub round the corner but the chip shop is naff.

 

[Sharpend]

by the time the old girl has changed the layout a few times and the old man chooses his man cave layout then the original quote will be out the window. You know what them there southerners are like with over exaggerating she'll probably want a vault for the Crown Jewels when we all know it's a safe for the pension book she means!!

Will they provide free board and lodgings for the 10 years they estimate it will take? Surely one of the 750 rooms must be vacant?

Parking shouldn't be a problem. I understand they have a garage for their very old car, I could park in there with that.

I'll bet there will be problems getting the DNO to upgrade the meter tails.
