not how much would you charge for your sister!
mother and father renting house off my sister they got a quote on a rewire £2500 for 3bed house using pvc capping everywhere.
thinking of using it for registering on scam part p.
was thinkng of just charging for materials as unemployed at the moment and plenty of time but i was thinking of partial rewire making more ring circuits change board etc.

speaking to sister she sounds like she wants alot more done.
would you charge your sister?
sister maried to a lawyer own 2 houses have a few quid.
me skint have to pay scank part p council insurance petrol etc.
moral dilema?
 
i think ille charge materials and some of the cost of scheme membership,maybe put price up on materials so it don't look like she's forking out for all my membership.
if i cost it as if it was going to be signed off by labc so materials and test.

I wouldn't doctor the prices, why keep anything from your sister? Tell her how it is as she is not going to get the job completed any cheaper and surely she wants to see you do well?

If it's a full rewire then doing it alone is going to be a challenge, even more so if it is occupied at the time. If it is occupied then at least your family know that you can be trusted and know that they won't have to worry at being at the property whilst the work is being carried out which may cost them money or holiday from work?

Different story if it was just fit a light or add a new circuit but a rewire? be fair to yourself :thumbsup
 
The lad will need a beer if his sister is anything like mine!

thekingiam, talk it through with your sister, only you and her can make an agreement.

We can only offer suggestions.

(We’ll be having a marriage guidance forum next). Dear forum members, “my wife…….
 
I'd charge my sister double what i would charge everybody else just for the torture and pain she put me through as a child, and more recently that she is shagging my best mate..... :)

use your noggin tel her to get some quotes and then do it £800 cheaper you wil be quids in and they will owe you a favour lol
 
she is running the house as a business, so the rewire will be an overhead. as previous posts, do it for a sensible price, so that 1. she gets it at a reduced cost. 2, you make wages and use it for your elecsa assessment. everybody's a winner.
 
I wouldn't do it for free - she's not letting your parents live there for free so why would you do the rewire for free.
The price would depend on what kind of customer your sister is - if she just leaves you to get on with it do it for less, but if she's one of these who think they're doing you a massive favour by letting you work on their property and because you're family they think they can throw in a load of extras and change their mind at the last minute do it for just under the other estimates.
