Fuse box installed for £150 what!!!

[spark 68]

Maybe I should cut my prices to £250 per board, and subby the work across, and still earn a £100 just to answer the phone and just book the work ?:juggle2:

depending on the particular situation (if the diyers have been playing),I take it you visit the job beforehand to give the estimate .

Also during an estimate visit for a board change i do ir, cont etc tests ! just helps so theres less chance of any nasty suprises popping up while fitting an rcd board.

yes you can do 3 a day if all you are doing is replacing the board, somebody following to test and cert. the job.

Still cant see the point as the person who tests/insp & certs the job will need to discon all the cables for the dead tests anyway so that will make it longer for that part of the job wont it !

Why do we spend years training, £1000 on fees, schemes, insurances etc to then go and charge a pittance for what is a skilled job, with potentially a lethal killer.
Just because a board costs £50 and takes 3 or 4 hours to fit doesnt mean its worth £150!
There are many jobs that dont appear to be worth peanuts but we dont question them or there rates.
We are skilled tradesman, and if you only browse the broad range of topics on this forum you would appreciate the real knowledge and skills we all have to learn and put into practice every day.

I wish my bloody dentist was that cheap !

[migspat30]

Denmans are selling a 10 way 'Curve' for £53.51 but that's plus VAT, or a 6 way for £45.55. You also get a free bottle of wine!

"Electricians" from some countries could go on the lash while changing the CU

You should advertise yourself as a trainer, showing people how to do them as neat as yours if you can do that in 45 mins.
