[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 76370, member: 2683"] Whenever I do any quote I do an initial inspection. I test for an effective earth Ze. Then I test Zs. I do a global Ir test. The results of these tests tell me all I need to know about the state of the instalation and how the addition or changes can effect the work I have been asked to do. Everything is made clear to the client from the outset, so there are no nasty surprises. I have had comments like "the last guy who gave me a quote did not do that" or " the last electrician did not test anything he just said it would cost me so much" My answer is always the same. Go cheap get cheap, I am fuly registered I have grandchildren, and I will not do any work that is not safe. Basic testing is a must to give a fully detailed quotation, with no hidden surprises. Or I could just estimate a full rewire for say [/QUOTE]
