As it's a Saturday I guess you will have to decide if you want to charge time and half. I never did it to be honest for my own labour as I always looked at it in the way you can take a day off when you wanted during the week.

I would though quote for a full days work though.

If you can get £250 a day where you are then I'm moving!

I can't get £250 a day but given some of the hourly rates some say they charging I'm just going along with the bull**** that gets bounded around.

In the real world where I live and work your lucky to get between £120 - £150 a day

And your lucky to get £120 a day?? Get registered mate, could be why your customers are reluctant to pay you properly, showing them your gold card won't mean much as most laymen have heard something of part P electricians and that's what they might be looking for.

I've worked for firms that pay that a day to there employees that are not fully qualified.

I know your dead against getting registered but it's the way it is now, if your doing a fare amount of domestic work then I can't see any sensible reason not to get registered.
