Read a post here the other day (Des 56 I think) which is pretty much how I price it up.
40 mins per circuit + 40mins per DB, multiplied by your hourly rate.

Personally I am happy charging an hourly rate and stating that I check 100%. I charge for all paperwork too.

What do you actually mean by check 100% ?

Checking 100%? Every single socket, switch, and light fitting gets removed and checked?

Exactly my point, you'd introduce more faults than you'd identify.

100% test yes, 100% accessible visual inspection but a sampled detailed inspection.

Sampled detailed inspection isn't a short cut.

I do mean look at everything, the stuff I have come across warrants it. Also I understand it that if you come across one fault you need to check 100% anyway.

If you started on a 30% sampled detailed inspection, you wouldn't normally jump to 100% after 1 fault, you would increase your sample percentage and continue to do so should a pattern of defects emerge.

The sample percentage is there to prevent the introduction of faults and defects due to dismantling, it's all in Guidance Note 3.
