• I asked an electrician I've used before for a quote on replacing the fronts of some sockets and changing some light fixtures. Fairly sure it will be comfortably under a days work. He has quoted for every specified part of the work, £100 here £150 there, and so the final quote is over £1k. Can I politely ask what his day rate is instead? Or should I just find someone cheaper?

  • Sounds like very DIYable work, don’t fancy doing it yourself?

    No point asking his day rate, it’s not like he’s suddenly going to reprice the job at £400. Just get some other quotes in.
