Anyone put their prices up lately?

[Welchyboy1]

Been absolutely packed out with work this year so far, though it was time for a pay rise about a month ago


call out 1st hour from £45 to £55

subsequent hours £30 to £35 thereafter

Full day rate £200 to £250

+vat

so far going well! No ones even blinked

give it to the end of the year might push it up a little further

anyone else??

Yes I review mine about every 6 months but location is always a factor Im sure some will be a lot lower in other parts of the country.

I have a fixed £30 an hour and £200 per day. I don't think I could get away with charging more.

£600/day minimum rate for 'specialist' work in London and I think I'm going in too cheap at that

 

[uksparks]

£600, jeepers, what the heck are you doing for that?

i think people just won't pay more than £200 per day generally that is, I'm sure people do, but I just feel people like to compare what you are asking for per day to what they earn and if they earn less say £100 per day they try to knock you back down to their level.

'Specialist' work! Although there is nothing special about it, any electrician should be able to so it!
The last thing I did there was terminating some redundant 12L1.5 into boxes with din rail connectors, happy days

Why not 240 a day, that's like saying pay for 7 hours get the 8th hour free? (And I know it doesn't exactly work out).

 

[Swcfisher]

£35 per hour or £300 a day + VAT, booked up for 2 months solid so can't be charging too much.

That depends how long his days are. He might only do a 7 hour day

Exact opposite for me, Oil Industry is in nose dive, pay offs every week. Guys going equal time rotations.
Although I was pretty immune to the 2008 recession, it is starting to bite now, the oil price has collapsed.

Quotes used to get accepted every time, now getting asked to knock off 20%. Cheeky buggers.

If you can charge more, good luck.

 

[vjsmarwick]

well i think its time i had a rethink then i have been charging £20 an hour for the last 7 years and have always had work maybe my £25 wouldnt be out of place then and £30 for out of hours work which was at £25 because have done rewires on things like the Chinese and they hate having to close so started at 11.30pm till 7.am every night and got a bonus of being fed before starting !
No wander my clothes are getting tighter lol
