[QUOTE="davetheglitz, post: 488408, member: 173"] First post for a long time as I've retired! Thoroughly recommend it! My Son - who lives in Coventry has had a report done on a charity building. In fairness the report is very good - but the cost for remedials is just plain offensive. Quoted to fix everything - no differentiation between class 2 and class 3 faults. Whole consumer units replaced due to IP rating on top. Examples of pricing - consumer unit with 6 RCBOs to replace existing one with single RCD - £850! I would reckon £120 tops for the CU and tails if necessary and 5 - 6 hours to fit and test. God knows what the hourly rate is! Ceiling lights apparently have exposed connections in the cavity - I'm guessing this is someone using a choc block and taping it up - his solution is to fit new lights at £70.00 a pop. Lots more - all vastly overpriced in my opinion. For the whole set of buildings this came in at £17000 - and that is cost to a charity! Is there anyone on here in the Coventry area who would be happy to do quote to do the class 2 remedials at a realistic price? Thanks [/QUOTE]
