I'm looking to rent out a two bedroom flat, and got an EICR completed yesterday and just wanted to sense check the quote:
The consumer unit needs replaced, I accept that. Is £400+VAT OK?
Socket replacement - I need a new socket put in for my cooker. £40+VAT seems OK for this but unsure?
IP Light Replacement - There is "minimal IP protection on bathroom light". I think this is only a recommendation, so if that's the case I don't think I'll go ahead with that.
Kitchen Light Switch - £35 + VAT to replace a switch seems high. I can do this myself, right?
Continuity - I think I have a socket which needs replaced. I'd plan to replace this myself like for like but regardless I'll have to pay this.
Shower Cable - Again, I think this is a recommendation so don't think I'd do it.
So, main questions - Is consumer unit pricing sensible? Can I replace a light switch myself?
