£150 – 250
Prices may vary depending on your area.
HMO’s, communal areas, small shops, and office spaces usually have up to 20 fire alarm devices.
Larger commercial properties such as restaurants, dental practices, and care homes are likely to have a much larger number of devices, and will require us to inspect your business and system to provide you with an accurate quote for our PPM services.
To comply with the latest 18th edition wiring regulations, old fuse boards should be replaced with new Residual Current Device (RCD) protected metal Consumer Unit (CU) installed with surge protective devices (SPDs) and A Type RCDs or RCBOs.
Type A RCDs/RCBOs protect against AC and DC fault currents.
Each job will need to be priced on an individual basis, as there are multiple factors, including the ease of installation and conversion, that can affect the price. We usually request that a couple of pictures be WhatsApped or emailed over to us. We can usually give a firm quote after seeing the pictures.
Typically, these projects cost approximately £650 + VAT for up to a 10-way split load, dual RCD CU.

Daily rate cap:
Our daily rate cap is designed to give you peace of mind. It means you’ll never pay more than the agreed daily rate for labour within one continuous 8 hour day, and gives you better value for money than 8 hours charged at our standard rates.
Electricians mate:
An ‘Electrician’s Mate’ is not a qualified electrician, but they can assist a qualified electrician on complicated jobs.
Some projects will require multiple tradespeople to ensure their safety. These jobs could include installing large, heavy light fittings on high ceilings, or where cables are installed in complex systems with multiple bends, and intricate pass-throughs.
It can also reduce the cost to the customer, having an Electrician’s Mate on-site instead of a second fully-qualified electrician. We will always inform you before the project begins if an Electrician’s Mate can assist, and give you a choice. Additional charges vary and will be priced on a job-to-job basis.
We want to make sure you’re happy before we leave. That’s why we request that someone is available at the end of each project to approve our work, and to pay the final invoice at signoff. Unfortunately, if nobody is available to confirm the job is complete, an additional call out charge will be applied, including additional charges for any changes that you may require unless already agreed.
Estimates:
All of our estimates are free of charge. And we don’t just project costs, but we’ll give you our best estimate of the project timescales, based on experience. However, these are only estimates, and every job is unique, so prices are subject to vary. But don’t panic, we’ll always keep you up-to-date, and notify you of any changes straight away.
Written quotations:
If you require a written quote, we’ll send an engineer to your site to get a better understanding of your project. They’ll then plan the timescales, consolidate the costs, and deliver your estimates by post or email.
Like all of our estimates, this service is entirely free. If we’re providing a written quotation for insurance purposes, the service is charged at our standard 1-hour fee. However, this fee is removed from the final invoice if the quote is accepted.
Payment Terms:
We will request payment for each project upon its completion, or on specified dates that we’ll agree.
Invoices will be clearly broken down, and all payments must be settled in full on receipt of our invoice.
We accept credit card, cheque, or cash payments. Bank transfers are only accepted if previously agreed.
Failure to make payments on time will be subject to admin charge of £15.00.
