Been in good old hoosebashing for last 7 years , currently on £195(pre tax) per house , 5 houses a week. Usually walk away with £695 per week.

Been spoilled a little over the years , usually 20-30 hours per week very rarely anything less than 5 house a week. Contracts comming to an end though which is why I've been scouring this site.

Id struggle to go back to any other kind of work now to be honest , considering contracts further a field to keep in housebashing game , knock it if you will but its easy doe.

£45 for a PIR? Done properly? £200 to fit and supply a DB? This is why electricians pay rates are being cut!

Seriously?? You are mad and at these prices I would seriously doubt the quality of your work, and do you test anything.
