"You will be paid per test £25.00"

Begs the question what is the test defined as! maybe there is a zero missing from the ad!

As for doing 4 a day - not on your nelly, I wouldn't sign off 4 PIR's every day for so little money.

Maybe it should say "visual inspection"!!

Unbeleiveable. I used to do them for £70, and I used to moan that was low.

 

[Silly Sausage]

If they mean 'test' as in a PIR/property, I had a job like that in Knutsford. I was given a list of houses to visit, nothing prearranged, and drive around knocking on doors, "Hello.........."
Lasted a day, didn't even bother getting paid. Total farce.

 

[telectrix]

think i'll phone them ans ask if the installations are all single circuit. £25 per circuit is about right. when you think electrium pay £75 for checking the serial numbers on a few breakers.........

 

[Paul.M]

£25 per test! What have they been smoking :sifone:. They can kiss my :-------:Love these new forum toys

 

[hasel5]

Sounds good to me I an hour 250 a day lol

 

[truckster]

Just about test the door bell for that!

 

[steamboatwilly]

Alas, you get what you pay for in this world....it's bound to lead to poor testing (and who's fault would that be!). Someone will do it I'll bet.....
:24: ....does that look like a cowboy smiley?

All that training of 4 years apprentice, plus years and years of experience, then topped with the cherry of the 2391, only to arrive at a £25 Inspect and Test? Why are electricians do badly insulted these days? I feel a bit disturbed this week as a couple of similar-type jobs have been thrown at me and I am made to feel as though they're doing me a favour! What's worse, 9 times out of 10 they WILL get someone else to do the for the price they want it. There was a time when electricians took pride in their job because they were (rightly) rewarded handsomely for it. Today's price cutting industry has very nearly destroyed that quality workmanship. 25 quid? cheaper to stay home.

Post the number... so we call all give them a ring and give down the banks!

 

[vaughant]

So with travelling an hour a test or a 14 hour day?
Nice!!!
But as said,someone will do it,very sad,its more issueing a cert than actually looking at anything,probably expect you to pre-print the forms and just sign the bottoms!!!
