We need to change about 150 lights to low energy ones in a workshop. We’ve got a price for the lights but now we need an electrician to intall them, I am guessing at a days work, what’s the day rate for these guys?

is it just bulb changes or fittings too?

platform/cherry picker access due to height?

15 an hour in a 10 hour day non stop sounds a bit unrealistic to me – 4 minutes per light?

Yes, you are right it does need a cherry picker and maybe 2 days! how much for all of that, is £200 a day plus £100 for the plant hire a good guess?

is it just bulb changes or fittings too?

£100/day for the cherry picker/scissor lift.

possibly 2 people too for safety?

Why do you need a qualified sparky to change some lamps?

Where is it? Assuming commercial premises. Do the fittings need changing or just the bulbs? Could be Part P implications. Are the new bulbs / fittings part P compliant?

Budget £200 a day for qualified sparks who’ll provide required docs.

Why do you ‘need’ to change them?

what location you at? either me or my mate (both qualified electricians) could do them if location and price is right? email me

Could be Part P implications.

Not on commercial / industrial.

£200/day sounds like a bargain.

😳 Not Part P, Part L2B. Lumen/Lux per Watt of the bulb.
