Is your call out for private or a housing association ?

£15.00 is too low. How far are you expected to travel?

 

[daiplayer]

will be doing around a 25 mile radius of home

im asking as i want to submit a competitive rate.

Im not looking to get rich of it by any means. but if could turn out to be a ' bread and butter contract' .

These rates sound about right you have to think you could be called out any time of night and to the Max distance of 25 miles ! Best thing to keep on van for emergency's are tails and bs88 fuses also a 17th edition board just in case a temp won't do , good luck mate

tel seems like a knowledgeable and well respected member from what i've seen in my short time here. why not go with his idea. 1/2 hr billing may be advantageous

Is this for normal hours 8am - 5pm £18 / hr seems a bit light and both figures are to low for out of hours and weekends

SDCO £50, if available.
£45/hr door to door, minimum 1 hr on site plus travel, on site billed in 1/4's
50p/mile
Out of hours weekdays + 50% on rate
Weekends, week nights, bank holidays + 100% on rate minimum, but it depends on what I have on.
Works for me, busy as I can cope with, and in South Wales.
No guaranteed call out's, it's just if I feel like it.
If customers don't like it then they can go elsewhere, this is not negotiable.
