Call out charges - whats yours?

[LlandrilloSpark]

Afternoon fellas, I hope your all enjoying the break?

I had a call out this morning to a country house, 14 rooms all full, 75% of the building down, I was told on the phone that money was no issue to get the builing up and running as they have a jubilee dinner to prepare starting at 3pm, It turned out to be a phase down, 1 phase controlled 25% of the install, 1 phase 75% and the other the storage heaters, so i dumped the heating and put the 75% that was down on a healthy phase.

I was wondering what your call out charges are and your hourly rate there after/ Sunday, I dont do a lot of call outs.

cheers

my call outs are £50 quid then £30 per hour after first hour!

I suspect that they are expecting a lot more than £80 for a Sunday call-out, as a business.
I think that £60 is a fair price for a call-out for the first hour to cover fuel and inconvenience, then an hourly rate after that. I always find that after I have the cheque in my hands, the customer decides that it's time to chat about other stuff.... half an hour before you feel the steering wheel beneath your fingers...

your price sounds fare.
like the lads say you could of charged anything,just as long as they had power back on.
the price they charge per head for guests would of covered it.
