Water & Electricity

[Jon123]

Hi All,
I am looking to work out the rough costs of electricity and water. for a potential premises. The owner does not know the costs so i am trying to work them out.

The water bill will purely be based on 1 toilet and that is it. Does anyone have a rough guide to how much that will cost a month?

The electricity will be 16 tube lights and electricity to power 2 computers and fax and printer. Again what roughly do you think would be the electricity costs?

Both water and electricty will be based on meter rates.

Cheers
Jon

'' water & electricity DONT MIX!''
Is what my parents used to tell me. Especially whilst trying to make a model speed boat in the bathroom sink powerd by a mains transformer!

Hi Jon,

I don't know if prices would be different due to different providers e.t.c , but anyway in my shop , I had 1 toilet and a little sink , and I paid just over £30 a quarter.

For my electricity , I had only 1 computer and I had spotlights and 2 convector heaters - which I hardly used because my shop being small got hot quickly but my bill averaged £45 a quarter , but went up to £65 for the one quarter during winter.

Hope this helps.

best wishes

For Elec , Should be minimal , I would say 2-3,000 kWh per Year max , Depending on your tariff and payment method between 150-200 per year.Surely 1 Wc is not metered?

I wouldnt have thought the amount would be much either way to what has been suggested as its pretty minimal, are they direct through supplier or via landlord as that could make some difference.

Hi Jon123,

I think Utility Consultant's got it right. You shouldn't be spending too much on electricity - take a look at the profile class that you're on (Find the details of your MPAN number - top line - first two numbers will tell you). I reckon you'll be on an 02, or 03 max (depending on what the premises will be doing) - so therefore will be small usage.

Combat added costs - pay by direct debit too!

Remember, if you're looking to move into a potential premises - you will be paying deemed rates (up to double more). So shop around and select your supplier of choice upon moving in. You are not tied to a contract - no matter what they say!!

When I moved into my new premises - I shopped around and used E4B in the end - they have a busines movers page which will tell you all you need to know about moving in (and moving out of your old premises, if this relevant!)

Good luck Jon123!

Hi Jon, i can help you out with electricity but not water. Like mentioned before it will be 02-03 type meter and the costs would be very small indeed,i cannot see it being more than £200 per annum.
We offer a business contract on a 28 day notice policy so not lenghty tie ins.
If you would like any help then PM with your e-mail address.

By the way we can help you out with Line rental,phone and Broadband services too all on one bill.
