What should I be charging as a domestic job?

[WagoCollector]

Hi guys. It would be really useful to run this past you and get a consensus/input from you for what would be a realistic amount to charge for an upcoming job I've been offered.

I've been asked to quote for a private job, and I'm stuck with what to charge. Most of the stock will be supplied and the rest I've got on the van - so it's only labour really.

There's a double bedroom that's currently being redecorated and it backs onto the hallway, where the board is. My plan is to run a new circuit from the board - the floorboards will be lifted and skirting boards removed.
It will be a 20A radial circuit feeding three internal double sockets which I will chase into the walls, and also one exterior IP-rated double socket.

I'm employed as a commercial sparky through a company, so I do very little private work and am a bit out of touch with pricing! What would you charge?

Thanks all.

EDIT: Sorry if it's in the wrong place, new to the forum!

Before you start the job, are you employed by the company. And if so is your company going to insurance you for the work. Part p the work has you know and all the chap to go with it.

This isn't related to my company work, it's self-employed work on the side which I will be signing off, and I'm insured.

Your location is stated as 'UK'. An average rate could be anywhere from £20/hr to £100/hr+, depending on exact location.

I'm in Dorset.
Would be good to get a rough range of what you guys might charge for this - obviously London/SE is going to be more and other areas slightly less, but I suppose an average across the board would be useful.

What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2023)

I did a poll last year on exactly this. Below I have pasted what I wrote in thread last time so there is a degree of similarity. We can then see if we have changed out prices much (again, bit of fun, not accurate) pasted... I thought I would start a poll to see 'roughly' what the average...

Domestic is my wheelhouse, Now normally for small jobs I would charge £95p/h if its a small job that I havent seen and am going in blind 'on call' with no idea what I might have to do...

But if yor job is planned as in you have customers materials on-site ready to install and you know exactly what you are up against and knowing for certain you can do it in one day and not have to make repeat visits. £500 all-in

With all materials supplied, four sockets @ £70 per point = £280.00 with no complications or making good.
