Ceiling Spotlight Installation Cost

The fitter has told her that they are good ones and that's all they know at the moment. I suppose what I'm asking is, is that quote what you would expect for fitting decent LED spotlights or would that be for top of the range stuff.
9 good LED lamps could cost that alone. Fitting them is half a days work I would say depending on how much of the ceiling he is going to hack apart.Muncher said:

Agreed. I wouldn't want to pay more than £100 for a half day which makes me wonder what type of lights he's going to fit to make it that expensive.It depends what's above the kitchen ceiling.
Kitchen extension with flat roof = massive ball-ache
Bungalow or kitchen extension with pitched roof and access hatch = piece of piss
Another room, which you tell him will be emptied to allow him to lift boards = a bit more work but not too difficult
Another room full of furniture = ball-ache
Bathroom with tiled or laminate flooring = massive ball-ache
The price he's quoted doesn't sound unreasonable unless access is an absolute doddle.

I think you'll find someone above has already declared it's half a days worth of work. He must surely be better than you or I, with all our guff about variables?Kitchen extension with flat roof = massive ball-ache

To add to Ganglandboss post, if it were flat/inaccessible ceiling, there's the issue to making good access holes etc, and like said before the quality of the fittings. £15 buys you cheap, £35 buys you something nice.
But as far as you can speculate it's about where I'd expect.. so long as he's reg'd/part P.
