A deposit over about a quarter of the job is unusual. Never pay one by bank transfer to a new account without a written contract. What to check before you pay

Priya came out promptly to look at our old fuse box and was clearly very knowledgeable - she checked the earth bonding and supply properly rather than just assuming, and talked us through what the consumer unit swap and extra sockets would involve. Her quote seemed reasonable but we're getting one more quote before deciding, so haven't gone with her yet. Would consider her based on this visit.

Thanks Nadia, glad the visit was useful. Sensible to get a second quote for a job like this - no pressure at all. My price reflects doing the earth bonding and supply checks properly rather than skipping them, and it's firm for 30 days, so happy to talk it through again if it helps you compare like for like. Whatever you decide, good luck with the job. Priya.
