Hi All
I'm in the beginning of trying to build a business for myself after 14 years in the trade. I'm struggling a little bit on trying to formally a pricing structure. I want to be competitively priced while making a good profit. Any tips on how to go about this.
I'm currently going in at...

Hi all
I have a job lot of x60 tubes of CT1. x40 White and x20 Clear. These are the new style with the red/green Eco Compliant sign in the top corner of the tube.
Price = £400
The listing is for all 60 tubes and works out to £6.67 per tube, which is very good value. However, if you...
Working Sunday's suck! Let alone doing condition report for someone that thinks your waiting to find faults and rip them off! People out of the trade just don't get it do they! You point out things that are unsafe/dangerous and they look at you like it should be rectified in the price?? I'm...
Hi
I wanted some feedback from you guys and some advice and opinions. I am starting to get a lot of domestic EICR requests but when I send a quote I never hear back from them. I am quoting around £350 for a 3-4 bedroom house. Most don't have not had prior PIRs so I recommend a 50 - 100% on...
Has any one fitted one of these yet? Being 1 of the cheapest fully populated boards at £70-£80 I've seen I was wondering if they've improved? I stopped using the insulated MK boards many moons back as they are absolute rubbish IMO.
Hi folks, I'm in the market for a new 1720. Best price I have seen is via the forum sponsor Test Meter, £764 ( & this includes a free r2, 30m wander lead).
Leaving aside flea bay and up a gumtree, has anyone seen a better deal elsewhere.
Also, what would be a reasonable sale price for a 1520 in...

Hi all,
I'm just starting out alone and want to do domestic only jobs, im initially going to focus on the smaller jobs as I also work full time elsewhere (the hope is I can eventually leave the "elsewhere") but still build up my profile and gain experience / confidence during my days off and...
Gents, i'm looking to cost a few new build residential developments in the near future, 30plus homes, and i'm looking for a price per metre for the electrical install, im currently at £30 per m, houses are midlands based.
Any help appreciated.
Has anyone weighed in , within the last week or so ?
I know the price has taken a severe battering as of late , but was wondering what it was like around the country ?
It always surprises me how the price can differ so widely between yards !
The house in question has all carpets lifted so easy access for running cables. So here's what I've done and to do. Materials were £500.
1. 17 spotlights wired and fitted.
2. 10 additional points in kitchen (sockets, fused spurs, cooker switch) walls chased, conduit installed and wired.

Hi,
Just a hypothetical question, more of a homeowner than DIY subject. I'm kind of sorry that when our house was rewired in 2011 we didn't go for RCBOs instead of a dual RCD board, not only is the split of which circuits are on which side not ideal, but it would have saved the width of two...
Hi guys,
Just wondering how you go about pricing rewires. I currently price for materials and then estimate the length of time it will take for myself and an apprentice to complete the work, and multiply this by my hourly rate.
I was speaking to a friend who prices his materials, and has a...
Hi guys, looking for some advice on whether to finish another guys work or not.
Got a phone call to go out and have a look at completing a rewire. Woman who owns the flat is very upset with the situation, her ex brother in law (supposedly fully qualified) started and nearly finished rewiring...
