Help with pricing for council wetrooms..

[WillWX]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me on a pricing issue, if that's allowed.

I'm looking at taking on some work wiring council wetrooms (shower, light, extractor fan, etc).

The price list I've been given is pretty poor, the prices are seriously low in my opinion.

I wondered if there was someone on here that has maybe had experience in this work that could guide me on what to counter offer the contractor with..

Feel free to drop me a PM and I can share with you the prices for each item.

Thank you in advance.

I did some council wet rooms for some of their tenants with disabilities. Did it subbying for another electrician. I have no idea of the pricing, but he wanted it done quick as, so guess things were tight.

The whole installation is done on a shoe string, on a spec provided by the council. All the electrics done surface, and supplies to bathroom all new run back to a new small CU. It was quite soul destroying. For example, one tenant had painted tiles above her old bath. Bath was ripped out for new shower, builder put new white tiles where bath had been, nice green/white combo. Water tight floor was installed after new toilet fitted, flooring cut round toilet base. I was asked to refit tenants down flow heater, only place it could of gone, was fixed to a louvre cupboard. I was told to screw the door shut & fit the fan!

It's work Jim (Will), but not as we know it.

They will always find somebody to do it for nothing, if you have enough work to keep you going then walk away, with a polite no thank you to the builder [just in case you need to deal with him in the future].
