How much should I be paying to have a shower fitted/installed? HELP
We need a shower fitted, found one for about 120£ called a plumber, he said about 100£ to fit it but I need an electrician to install the wiring from the consumer unit, called a sparkey, he says about 150£
Now this seems like a **** take, 120+100+150=370
Is this about right ? Am I missing something?

As long as you consider yourself to be a 'competent' person you can do what you wan't. If you don't feel comfortable don't do it, but the only way you learn things and gain knowledge is by actually doing it.

Its nothing to do with breaking the law, The HSE say a 'competent person can work in their own home as long as they keep to the BS7671 regs.

If you have a fire your house insurance will be void everything will be lost and they wont pay a penny. So yeah really worth it (_;)
begin any work and pay the appropriate fee for them to inspect the work."
How much would you expect to pay?
The tradesmen are probably self employed so have overheads.
How much does a solicitor charge? Why should a skilled tradesman get less than a solicitor.
