Top tips on getting quotes for electrical work
Make sure that your quote contains a detailed description of the work that is going to be carried out, as well as a list of the materials that will need to be ordered and used. This is important in order to avoid misunderstandings later down the line.
Where possible, establish where any materials will be coming from and what brand they are. This is to make sure that good quality products are going to be used, and that inferior ones are avoided. Using poor quality products is risky, as it increases the chances of fire and electric shock.
