That’s nuts, we had a partial first fix rewire and new wire of about a dozen sockets, fused spur wall lights with switches, chasing into concrete 5 ceiling lights, moving 4 ceiling roses to room centres which involved more concrete chasing and then the second fix including fitting the back boxes in insulated plasterboard and intumescent sealing.
This was around 2k.

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?
