Yes, struggling to understand how they are getting to £2000 for what has been described to me by themselves as a relatively straight forward job.

Any of your electricians friendly enough just to do the final bits - i.e., you lay all the cable and the faffy stuff and they rock up to do the important but less faffy bits and testing?
Edit: i'm lucky enough to have a friend of a friend electrician who does this for me - made a full rewire a lot cheaper.

It's like asking yourself why a dentist charges £x for a crown or a lawyer charges £y for 6 minutes.
It doesn't surprise me in the current market. I've had a lot of requests for garden work this year but I'm not registered so I can't do it. Same sort of thing happened when Part P was introduced, couldn't get electrical work done for a while or it was crazy expensive.

Have you asked them to break it down into materials and labour? You’re entitled to ask and it will give you some transparency.

This sounds an awful lot like something you could replicate with a £20 extension lead.
Actually I don't quite see how you could run a light switch off a 40A spur without something functionally equivalent to a fuse box in the shed.
