Domestic market is tough at moment but £7 an hour!!

Luckily I've never had to go that low to make ends meet but if your self employed no way the work stacks up at that rate.

The likes on the NICEIC eg should be doing more to educate Joe Public that cheap is not always best and its "best to buy British".

Shot me down if you wish but come on who here is on 7 quid an hour really......no one that's who, it's just scare mongering.

So what that some foreigner for the EU has done a **** poor install for some dopy mug because its halve the price.....TBH as long as its not dangerous I'm happy with that because remedial work is a lot of what I do.

I know times are tough but that's the world we live in, dooms day Sayers don't help.

I worked as a mate for £7.50/hr about 6 or 7 years ago.

I use to shovel fertilizer in Australia in 40 degree heat for £8...... i literally shoveled sh!t for more money. I did get a free beer every Friday at 3pm though..... that was awesome!

From what I've read, domestic customers would be prepared to pay extra for a few basic customer service skills, such as actually turning up to do the work - a lot of customers seem to come here complaining they can't get anyone to go out and quote, if they do go out to quote they just run away without telling the customer why.

Ducksy The situation we have is guy and gals for whatever reason want a fast track into the trade so they do their crash course then as seen on this forum people want to work for nothing or petrol money to get experience so they then take this mentality to employment agents who take them on at £7 and hour and then charge the customer £20.

This is the situation we are in and as far as I am concerned the Schemies and the £54k a year training centres have undermined our trade not profession but trade and as I have said before insted of people getting a sound training we now have the "Help I have just installed a CU and the RCD will not reset" posts.

So am I a doom sayer no because I am starting to see it happening in front of me I do repairs on rentals but I am getting told that the letting agent is being offered Gas safety checks and PAT testing plus a cut down EICR for £65 so how in Gods name can they offer this if they are not paying £7 an hour

You’ve only yourselves to blame. You let the scams run the show. There’s no “one voice.”

The only way things will improve is with a national register of “qualified” electricians with a required entry level.

Spot on Tony.

My worry is though...the NIC and the other parasites are multi-million pound businesses now (well near enough) and they don't care about the trade. I'm not sure how anyone could break into there little world and change Joe Public's perception. To the public the only way is NIC.

Breaking them could become hard...

With the creation of the Electrical Trainee and other like schemes across all trades, Dom ain't gonna be out of work for a while.

Talk about job security. Dom's got a job for life chasing these mugs around the streets.

As i said that's from what I've read on here. I can't watch those Dom Littlewood programmes - it's just 'X-Factor TV' - "this woman didn't like her electrician so told him to get out of her house, now he refuses to go back and finish the job, but her kids are ill which makes him a monster."
