The heat scale is a little different here in Australia we call 36 degrees very warm, 38 degrees is hot, 40 degrees is very hot, 44 degrees is extremely hot, 46 degrees is fucking too hot.

I reckon sparks went in at around 3 and bit maybe with VAT then the builder has marked it up! Ours puts quite a healthy management fee on to our prices 😂

[@jenton93]

TBF if I was the builder I would probably add 30% just to be safe etc etc. then as a builder your probably vat reg so thats another 20% suddenly £3200 for a non vat spark is suddenly £5k. personally if i was the builder I would want a good deal off the spark for delivering regular work. it probably what 2 days first fix, 2 days second fix plus a day for testing and snags, so 5 days say 350 per day. could be about £2k for this. would be intrested what other people would charge

The 20A rating on those Wagos is the JET rating - that would be Japan. Irrelevant to us. They are derated to 20A in MF applications, but that is absolutely fine for a single leg of a ring. Shoving Ideal connectors in a Wagobox, not an MF compliant assembly, and the Ideal connectors in their own box are derated to 16A!

[@Daniells1982]

And the 16A is because of the box they're enclosed in. Thought that was weird, why produce a connector with a current rating of 32A to then produce a box rated at 16 that limits their application considerably?

I won’t work with builders anymore they don’t care about sparks, looking at that job I’d want 5K firstly to make good existing then put new wiring throughout extension and a percentage of cost would be for been messed about by Bob the builder. Last week I first fixed a friends bathroom then the bathroom install entered and cut off my 10mm tails at the shower pull switch and fitted a plastic ceiling, he also cut my down lights out without asking what size holes I required . You can understand why I turn down no end of jobs.

Yeah they are expensive but they will last a very long time. I have been communicating with the head designer of Veto to produce a wheel system for existing tool bags that is a collapsible that would allow you to take existing toolbag straight from the van over doors and up stairs pulling it without carrying it a system that paramedics use for collapsible wheel beds. This means you could load the bag and making it easier to carry in and out. They are also building a new wheel bag hopefully coming soon. The point is you can charge for innovation and quality if it does better than anything else out there and will last a very long time. Having to constantly change bags can be costly but it also depends on how you look after it.

To me your video implies the previous sparky did this and did a very poor job.
