£1200 for the following electric work - reasonable?

[Alicewinn]

Does anyone know if this is reasonable?
I need it in order to pass ECIR

1–replacing the consumer unit to rcd protection
2-installation of the earth bonding to copper pipes
3-installation of the earth in the back of the switches
4-plastic trunking to protect the cable
The quote includes labour and materials.
The job will take a day 2 guys

I had my consumer unit replaced four years ago. It took two days, so yes seems reasonable. They have to check every cable.

Seems a bit expensive but probably that price in London ? Day rate for ECIR type work here in the south is about £275 plus vat per man. So two for a day would be £660 ish labour plus the price of the consumer unit populated unit (£200 ish tops) plus trunking and further sundries. It's likley during the test they will find, or already know of other bits to rectify if it's a first certification though.

#2 sounds like work for a kitchen or toilet/bathroom?
#4 not sure where that could be

the other two sound like jobs which are todays requirements for EICR but weren’t when the wiring was installed originally.

my understanding is they’re not mandatory more that they’re a recommendation.

Reasonable for 2 guys but not sure why 2 are required, one engineer did similar for me, it was £800 but of course depends on size of the property and CU used.

But make sure it includes the cost of the Eicr for that money... fitting a new CU gets you an electrical installation cert, which is not sufficient unless its a full rewire or new build.
The Eicr is another bit of paper you need as a LL, which is a separate certificate and different from the EIC, a new tenant must receive this before tenancy begins... assuming you are a LL, if not, you don't need it, the EIC is enough.

Some jobs are faster if there are 2 people doing it working as a team rather than individuals. I watch a lot of electrical installation videos on youtube including rewires and consumer unit change outs. There are also ECIR testing videos so you can see how much work is involved.

My electrician charges £250 a day so at least £500 is labour alone. It depends how many switches there are to run earth wires to 10 or 35? That makes a difference in materials and time. They also have to access each switch which in an empty house is easy, in a furnished house much more time consuming pulling everything out.

I would say it was a reasonable cost. Electrical safety is paramount and there isn't even an RCD in the consumer unit at present.

I paid £1k for a new consumer unit and small amount of extra work about six months ago. Done by someone I know well and have used for years, so I’d say reasonable yes.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Thanks everyone, that's so helpful. Yes it is London. It was one of those quotes I got in a panic which is never a good idea so good to have validation
