I have been getting some quotes to extend an existing unused 40A circuit 10 metres to my shed for a few sockets and a light. If I did it myself it would cost me about £150 in parts and about half a day's work. But electricians are quoting me over 2 grand to come and do the job.
As it is a modification to an existing circuit it is non-notifiable work but I am hesitant to do the job myself from a liability perspective despite having done a lot of simpler legal electrical work (changing sockets, lights, adding outside socket etc) on my home before. What are people's thoughts on this kind of stuff?
