@hellsbelly, My Apologies for such a late reply.


I did find someone, through a family member, who doesn't live locally.

He did it as a favour for us as we were a bit stuck and on a tight budget.

Unfortunately he's not looking to take on any more extra work otherwise i'd share his details as he is excellent.


As a guide, I had a few quotes from electricians through checkatrade etc and most came in around £3k and up! Some of them were telling me that I would HAVE to bury the cable which obviously adds a days digging labour on. Currently we just run it down the fence. Another large cost is the armoured cable. We opted for an armoured cable without an earth in it as it was much cheaper as it has 50m less cable in it. My guy has then earthed it to the ground using a copper Rod.


All in we hit £1.5k.

4 days @ £250 a day labour

+ £500 for all the parts

(armoured cable, switches, 10 double sockets, Consumer units etc).

All tested and certificate provided.


Hope you get yours sorted, if you have any more questions I'll try and reply a little faster this time!


Thank you

    • The Oxfam shop refusal may be because they have very limited storage space at the back of their very small shop?
    • I agree. The staff are always lovely!  
    • Hi, does anyone know anything about the generator that seems to run from 7am every day in the car park of Dominic Court off The Gardens? I live in a property that backs on to that car park and it’s incredibly noisy and fumey. It’s been there for a long time now and it looks like it’s powering a site office for construction workers. Does anyone have any information about how long it will be there for, and who is operating it? I worry about the quality of the air as it’s like having a truck running constantly. And it’s very annoying to have it rumbling all day.    
    • Most charity shops will take rags for textile recycling. I’ve also donated to Christopher’s, Shelter on LL and Scope in Camberwell. The only one I’ve known to refuse is the Oxfam in Herne Hill.
