Fixed Wiring Inspections cost

Carl Haycock

hi all,

Looking for some guidance. We carry out fixed wiring inspections on our Uk commercial properties every 5 years.  These are mixed office, warehouse and assembly / lab spaces within 3 buildings.  

We have an on site electrician for the general maintenance / small jobs as well as a separate service for PAT testing.  Our regular competent contractor has quoted nearly £100k to carry out the testing which seems massive to all the costs I see quoted online and I find it hard to believe our competitors abroad are spending this kind of sum every 5 years.  i know it is hard to give an opinion without size and we use circa 2300Mwh per annum but any thoughts as to whether this is completely off track or not?

regards

Carl

    Could I suggest breaking it down into smaller junks so it can be quantified

    3 site (locations and distances from each other roughly)

    Number of CU/DB at each site

    Number of circuits in each DB

    Is PAT/In-Services Inspection and testing required, if so how many items per site and what the item groups are eg Toaster/PC Mass spectrometer

    Will remedial work be required

    Special item of interest eg like ATX

    Time when the testing can be done eg during working hours or at weekends
