quote from NI electricity network

[CalvinHobbes]

Shocked, to take the cables down going into the house they want as a Disconnection Charge A charge of £1,195.53 plus £239.11 VAT .

Services Disconnect Services £688.38

Services Temporary Traffic Management (Highway Barrier Solutions) £338.58

Other Connection Administration e.g. Planning, Survey & Land Rights £168.56

I wonder if I got myself and my sister to stand out with stop and go signs could we manage the traffic (and hired a few traffic things).

I wonder if other companies do this in NI?

 

[Conor]

That's about right. Ours came to £2300 for similar work. You don't have any other option really.

 

I tried to get the VAT dropped as it was related to a new build, but the wouldn't. Worth a try yourself anyway.

[CalvinHobbes]

Crikey! Thanks.  Is there anyone else that offers the service? Have they competition?

[Conor]

Nope, they're the sole network owner in NI.

[CalvinHobbes]

Yikes, thanks Conor.

@CalvinHobbes are you putting in a temporary service as well? Get that done as the same quote as it'll save you fees and another three month wait. That's the way we did it, then they came out, did the disconnection and then I just phoned them a few weeks later once I had th kiosk ready and they came out again.

[CalvinHobbes]

Good point, yes thanks will do.
