Great video Nick. Really interesting to see how other sparks quote for re wires. I love how transparent and honest you are. Cheers

This is exactly how I price. Makes things very transparent. Customer knows exactly what they are paying as its in black and white. They make any changes. They also know what they are going to pay. I also think if you have gone to the trouble of quoting each point the quote looks so much better and looks like more effort has been put into the quote

Good quality work and you're not greedy with the pricing. Plus I ❤ your content. Keep it up Nick 👌🏼

Total admiration and respect for the transparency mate 👍

Great transparency Nick. I think a lot of people see the cost of an accessory and imagine the time it would take to fit in ‘perfect’ conditions. They don’t see the overheads (van, consumables, tools, testing etc.), the nightmare cable runs or a reasonable profit to be able to earn a living.

If the job is done correctly, what would your justification be for not signing it off?

As an American, I've don't see the attraction of recessed lights. When I remodeled 10 years ago I did have 3 put in near my kitchen sink and 3 over the mirror in an upstairs bath. The labor and parts were more expensive, but the light output that I perceive seems much less than an equivalent light fixture where the bulbs are 6 - 12 inches from the surface. If I had to do it again I wouldn't install recessed lights. But then instead of a pendant, we wire an electrical box for each light fixture - just like for receptacles. And that seems to have resulted in a wider variety of mounted light fixtures - including ceiling fan / light combos being quite common.

@some-idea

9 ай бұрын

It might depend on the type of housing - smaller rooms, lower ceilings etc. Having just renewed some lighting, the choice of mounted fixtures wasn’t very appealing here (UK) but I guess that’s personal taste. I have seen condensation issues in loft spaces where downlights are retrofitted without thinking about ventilation/extraction of moist air in bathrooms.

Are you fitting the same accessories (if not decorative) and consumer units on each job to keep a tab on what makes you fitted if you get a callback You were also fitting a emergency light at one point

Last time I did a full concrete, sockets on both floors had to be above each other, chase up, drill up, wire all from loft (more cable so has to be a higher cost) Not fun to do but oh well, gotta be done

Time can be a big factor also. I recently had a full re-wire (3 bed 1930s semi), of the quotes we got, one-man bands were the cheapest, but the job would have taken around a week. As we needed to move into soon, we ended up paying a fair chunk more for a team of 5 who were in and out in a single day! Their choreography was amazing and for us it was worth paying the extra. It's also a bit of peace of mind going with a well established company, if anything does go wrong they're more likely to still be around to honour their guarantee.

Ooh…..looking forward to seeing you at your mates job makes a lot sense….win win

Antique brass double socket is around £10, antique brass usb c double socket is around £25. So yes, the £15 extra makes a lot of sense.

Always give customers several options. Network cabling containment is very important. Always point out the importance. Insulated to mains voltage standard is not good enough. Always figure in screened as an option. Containment is still important. I have to say mate, I was charging your lighting charges in the 90s. Sit yourself down and work out what your time actually costs. Not your work hours. It seems you are not charging for your time pricing, ordering/collecting materials, billing/invoicing etc. Do you charge for transport? You should be factoring in the cost of running vehicles, tax, insurance, maintenance --- you need to take everything into account. You can offset a lot against tax, but it needs to be charged to be considered. If you take it all into account, you will see why Jordan appears to be expensive. lol

Nick, I start at £400 per room as I am still attempting to get to get rewire works. 1 pendant, 1 switch and 4 double sockets per bedroom. For kitchen I do £1500 and £45 per spotlight currently, I am getting rewires at these prices. Last one was £4,336. For a 2 bed bungalow with 2 en-suite.

@@karlbyrne1111 KNX can be wired from one device (sensor) to the next, with as many junctions as you like as long as you don‘t create a ring or exceed 700m. That means you have one green 30V cable per floor going from one room to the next and connecting push buttons, presence detectors, touch screens and whatever else you want to integrate (Sauna control, irrigation controller) And as it is 30V, you can do all this work without the danger of electrocuting yourself. That means you normally only put 230V for sockets & lights into the room. There you can use multi-wire (5x1,5) cabling to keep the number of cables to a minimum. A KNX Actuator has all the functionality built in, that would normally require timers & impulse switch and change-over-switching configurations. With KNX you switch the light with the actuator and never care about the sensor/button setup. With a blinds (or rolling shutters) actuator you can drive a whole front, with timer, multi-motor switching (groups) and blocking functionality (you sit outside, door open) all built in. No need for isolating relays or wiring from the door to the blinds motor. I hate when I see those moronic timers in every room at every single blind or shutter. You no longer need thermostats, as Pushbuttons normally have temp & humidity sensors. You only need one 230V cable and a KNX Cable to the underfloor heating distribution box. The actuator receives the room temperature digitally, instead of putting a (4 or 5 wire) 230V cable in every room to the room thermostat. I could go on and on. If you don‘t just do the bare minimum, but actually want some kind of modern, somewhat smart electrics, there is simply no better standard than KNX. You have all light & blind cables starting in the distribution box and wire the sockets like in a classic installation. All actuators sit in the same cabinet and allow for central control and maintenance. If you want to control stuff with a mobile or via speech, you connect the KNX system to the IP world, but it will also work flawlessly if it is just running locally. Given that it does not rely on IP, it is also more secure and never needs security fixes. (We do large office buildings, hotels and public buildings like train stations with this, so I might be biased!)

@@karlbyrne1111 You need a power supply & an IP Interface to start with. Cheap KNX push buttons (& presence detectors) start at 60 quid (90£) from „MDT“ and there is no limit at the top end (milled from a single sheet of brass or covered in leather from „Basalte“) A Siemens TC5 controller that would be a nice little display for the whole house comes in at around 280£. A Schneider KNX Touch 4“ is about the same. For everything else, I would probably use HomeAssistant or OpenHAB in a private property. There my house shows up as 1 KNX device with nearly 200 entities. Solid as a rock and as KNX has all components talking to each other, it does not matter if one device fails or the server is down. Everything else will just continue working… If you can import components from an EU reseller, a switching channel on an actuator is 20-25£, heating actuator is 40£ per circuit dimming is 60-70£, LED controllers can reach a 100£ or more. (Most UK shops add >50% margin compared to international prices, so that‘s actually a real „bummer“!) Yes. KNX is not cheap, but I am still doing maintenance for KNX systems that were installed 20 years ago and you can 100% rest assured, that you can still buy KNX components in 20 years from now. Most other (consumer retrofit) technologies will hardly last a decade and you will always need the latest standard to make everything work. So. Maybe you pay twice the initial amount with KNX, but you will not spend anything for the next 20 years… Where are you based? Maybe there is a showroom nearby. I can recommend the Jung Showroom in Clerkenwell, London There you can experience first hand, how a fully integrated KNX smart installation looks, feels and works.

Who said anything about conduit? Install it by the regs for a 32amp breaker.
