    What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2024-25)

    Going up to £45 p/hr seems reasonable. This poll is perhaps making me feel the opposite. I'm 'fairly' happy with my rate (£45), and looking at the poll it seems smack on average, which pushes me a little into not increasing it. I think I'll go up to £50 in perhaps 6 - 12 months, rather than now.

    Electrician Jobs TT supply for hot tub

    Hi GC, Could you explain your worries a little more? It's unusual for a customer to even know what TNCS is, you clearly do and you are worried about it. Did you discuss it with the electrician before hand? I haven't checked the most up to date regs on this, but did find the following from an...

    Extending ring

    Hi Jon, I don't think there is a regulation about amounts of sockets on a ring. From memory the limiting factor is having the ring within 100m2. Of course, you'll need to make sure it has 30mA RCD protection, no existing faults on the circuit, bonding in place etc etc. Plus give the correct...

    No.. it was time to go home, I'm had enough! Good reminder to do so though, thanks.

    Todays fault finding

    Here we go :) With both option 1 and option 2 in the picture below I would still get satisfactory N-E IR results when testing on an actual part of the ring (not at the spur), but at the end of the spur I would get continuity between N-E. Also, when testing R1+R2 at the spur I would get an...

    What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2024-25)

    I've done this poll for 3 years now. I find stats and maths interesting. Plus, I imagine most sparks are interested in what others charge. But, as in the OP, a bit of fun. Also, its interesting to see if I'm above or below the average. My hourly rate is £45, it has been for almost 3 years, I'm...

    What is your hourly rate as a self employed electrician? (2024-25)

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

    Another poll! Average age of the person on this site.

    Well you'll be on the downward slope of the graph then Westward. Watch out! :D

    Another poll! Average age of the person on this site.

    It's actually a very interestingly shaped graph. A lop sided bell curve. Gradually increasing up to age 55, then more rapidly decreasing after 55. I suppose it makes sense. Youngsters/young adults are more likely to be on tik tok, in the pub or looking after young children. 50 - 59 year olds...

    Todays fault finding

    The socket was disconnected when i did the tests. If the face plate screw was pressing into neutral wire then this would show up in an IT test at the CU Yes, there could be a JB as per OP. Yes, quite a few bad DIY bits

    Todays fault finding

    I had a bit of a head scratcher today, I think I've got to the bottom of it but thought I would run it past you guys. 0.15MΩ between N and CPC on a ring circuit. I started breaking down the circuit and when I disconnected one of the sockets the fault cleared. I now got 15MΩ. Nothing obvious...

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

    Any chance you could put the poll back up visible @Dan , so we can get a few more hourly rates in before the years up?

    Napit.. Do you still choose the job, or do they?

    Extremely useful stuff Steve, thankyou!
