Doesn't sound all that unreasonable to me.

£175 reasonable? His date rate is £265 and hourly rate is £50. This can't be half a day's work, can it?
Ime any sparky charging less than 300 a day in London is a good deal but to answer your question it could end up half a day but even if it's an hour or two what else can he book in during that time? I would imaging hourly only comes in to it when he has to change a light fitting or other really simple stuff.

Sounds very reasonable based on my experiences.
And it probably is half a day, tbh, he’ll test and write out the paperwork once it’s installed. Or should.

Just wanted to sense check, I need to repalce my bathroom fan, at the moment it is controlled with a pull cord. I want to replace with one that is controlled by the light switch. My sparky has quoted £175 labour + additional materials not including the fan itself. So the additional materials are things like cables and couduit etc. So he needs to wire the new fan into the loft and add an isolator outside of the bathroom and also replace the vent on the outside wall. Is £175 reasonable? His date rate is £265 and hourly rate is £50. This can't be half a day's work, can it?
