Hi guys whats your take of how many EICRs can be done properly in a day average of 5 to 8 circuits ranging from 1 bed flats to 3 bed houses?? This would also include travel and also doing any repairs whilst there?

Well you can jest all you wish but I've been around long enough this planet to realise that not much changed and sooner or later we all have to accept that fact.[
Oh yes, of course, you must keep yourself within your correct place on the social scale!
How dare anyone possibly consider trying to charge a fair price for their work, they must only ever price according to rules set down by the upper classes for those in the 'lower middle of the qualification scale'

I've been told that there is a net loss of electricians to the industry at the moment especially amongst the younger age groups. As a personal observation i think having gone through the training to become an electrician they become very dissilutioned with the reality of the work, that being very repetative and in the main physically demandingAre many small electrical companies going bust?
Just because you can do a job cheaper it doesn't mean that you should!
I've never heard anyone say the JIB rates are too high before!
Less electricians equals higher wages mate....well not in your case obviously but you get it...I've been told that there is a net loss of electricians to the industry at the moment especially amongst the younger age groups.

Well I just do what I can like everyone else we all have to grab what work we can ...this is what running a business is aboutIt would seem to me that your customers are taking advantage of your low self esteem Brian. Perhaps you are contributing to the race to the bottom for domestic prices? Any savy business person would identify where the profits are to be made with the skills they have and direct their business in that direction.

Yes I get your argument. but as I said previously the work is being taken up by other trades who are doing it as a add in to their main source of employmentLess electricians equals higher wages mate....well not in your case obviously but you get it...
Yet to hear of a kitchen fitter or gas installer or plumber that does EICR's, and if they do I'm sure it's not for a tenner an hour.Yes I get your argument. but as I said previously the work is being taken up by other trades who are doing it as a add in to their main source of employment
yes but surely it's also about ensuring that your business is still in exsistance next week, month, and year ....a little and often is better that a big wedge and then nothingNo, running a business is about making profits not being a busy fool.

sorry to labour the point but I know of several kitchen fitters who carry out periodic tests..in addition the local housing association in this area use their multi trade maintenance staff to carry out periodic testing the certificates being simply signed off by the office based Quantifying Manager..Yet to hear of a kitchen fitter or gas installer or plumber that does EICR's, and if they do I'm sure it's not for a tenner an hour.
Sorry David but I'm not sure I know what Trolling is..but if it means being pragmatic about life then yes I guess that I'm a troll.And not i don't intend to offend people.to state that some on here are grossly overcharging is simply a matter of opinion"There has been one on here who claims to have charged £50 per hour ..this is more than an accountant and I really do think that an accountant or similar job is far higher in the social scale. I think that there has to be a sense of proportion here, we as box standard electricians are lower middle on the qualification scale, above let us say a semi skilled worker but not in the same level as a white collar professional and we must price yourself accordingly or we risk losing our work to other trades.....Have you seen how many plumbers, gas fitters and kitchen fitters now have NICEIC membership and carrying out electrical work".
I can only assume you have a very low opinion of electricians or have simply set out on here to offend people. This won't work, trolling can be the only logical explanation. Why disrespect someone for getting paid £50 an hour (I charge and pay more) when you are happy with £2.99 an hour. Who is the fool ? All indicators point to you.
You can only charge what the market allows, or less, so the fact that those of who are “grossly overcharging” are still getting paid I’d say the market allows it,sorry to labour the point but I know of several kitchen fitters who carry out periodic tests..in addition the local housing association in this area use their multi trade maintenance staff to carry out periodic testing the certificates being simply signed off by the office based Quantifying Manager..
