    Hi could anyone provide a rough estimate for installing 4 or 5 outdoor lights that would be attached to the house itself.

    House is 165m sq & a bungalow if that makes any difference.

    Thanks.

    This is difficult based on the limited information provided.

    However:

    Allow for labor cost of €30 to €50 per hour + VAT depending on the area you are in and the workload of the REC. many will have a call out fee as well.

    Allow for cost materials. The REC will be able to buy these for less than you and will be able to sell them to you at the lower VAT rate (when combined with overall cost). Buying the materials yourself is risky as you are unlikely to be as familiar with what is best when compared to the REC.

    The lights themselves could cost anything from €10 to €800. I assume you have a preference???
