What would you think for Garage, 36w? 56w might be a bit excessive for a stand alone single garage?

A single 5ft florry would be adequate, but there is no harm in doubling up and potentially having too much light.

Cheers 

£25/hr sounds reasonable to me, surely not more than 2 hours work for 2 lights?

Could probably bash it out quicker if you are happy having the cables clipped, but that's a fair estimate of the time it would take based on what you said in your original post.

It might only be a morning/afternoons work....including travel time....but unless he has another small job to goto, you might find he prices it as a days work 

A cowboy would probably chance his arm at pushing for a days work, but it's no more than a couple of hours (give or take) based on the initial description, and that's exactly what it would get charged as.


@ Mark,

If you supply the light fittings, I'll supply the cable and switch, install the lot (cable clipped to wall), do the test, and issue the certificate (small works in this case) for £130 all in.

The above price is subject to looking at the job first, but if I am interpreting your first post correctly (you want it cheap as chips, but legal and looking half tidy), then the above price stands.

I can take some photos at the weekend if that helps?

Myself and Mrs Roid can pop in on the way back from Blackbushe on Sunday if that suits?

What time were you thinking? I could be out and about a lot on Sunday

'Er indoors likes to hit the market moderately early and make it last till lunchtime, although the weather is proper crap at the moment so I can't see either of us lasting too long there.
Safe bet for availability is probably from 11:30am onwards, so whatever time from 11:30 onwards that suits Mrs T and yourself really.

Think I will be out then, best I drop you a PM early next week and arrange something

How come your photo's didn't show all the crap I had to circumnavigate when I was putting the lights up then? 

I can let that one slide though, especially as a cup of tea was in my hand within 5 minutes of arriving (unlike that Gixer fellow, 45 he took to make the tea....wholly unacceptable!)
 

[tunnie]

Yeah sorry about that, photos taken before another van load of junk arrived

Cheers for that, job jobbed now. Looking good, just got to finish the painting!

I think he outsources his tea-making duties to H, which means he needs to tighten up his QSA ie the hairy side

He's probably just switched supplier because the previous one didn't supply enough football sugar.

Oh I should say thanks to Kevin Wood too for his recommendation

Did not quite work out this time, but great to have his details. Cheers
