All I want is one poxy 3ph socket good for 9kW, a meter and a circuit breaker. It's an blooming industrial unit fused 100A per phase, how hard can it be?

I've just had the second electrician round and still no joy.

First one I tried to get a budget job, got me nowhere. Said he'd do it for £750 if I got the parts in but wouldn't tell me what those parts were. Obviously doesn't want to do it, taking the piss.

Second one eventually suggested a ballpark £250 plus parts and I said, "No problem, that doesn't even touch the sides". Got his attention, but apparently it was essential that I understood everything and if I dared to ask a question he had to start explaining all over again from where the power enters the building. He seemed terrified of electricity, I suggested he might be in the wrong job, perhaps that didn't help.

Number 3 tomorrow. Anyone care to suggest another approach (shy of pretending to be a lottery winner or kidnap)? I'm running out of ideas.
