How much would you charge

[panicoll]

A roofer was doing some work on my parents house when I popped round. Now. A couple months later I get a call from hhim to have a look at his first house he's bought. Electrical install=diy gone wrong. So I have rewired 14 points on one ring and 2 point on kitchen done mini trunk until he revamps kitchen plus db needed up graded to. Now how much to charge. I would say I have spent roughly 3 days.

Some rough prices guys please remember young lad and it's his first house

You need to determine how much you need to earn per day/hour to make the "occupation" worth while, whilst not forgetting the other sparkies in your area.

I'd say you should charge at least £150 per day and don't forget the time to do the necessary certificates etc.

Given he's a roofer and may well give out your name you don't want to get a reputation for being too cheap too!

£150 a day labour,
£250 materials,Fuel? ware and tare on van/ insurance/membership.
£300 cu change with upgrade bonding if required,
£250 Testing and reports,

Just remember your not a charity its a living.

3 days, £540 + Mats at cost +5%, don't base your rate on working 5 days a week as you have to take account of holidays, sickness and no work, I try to live on 3 days a week, if i have full weeks, which i have for the last 8 then its a bounus but in the summer it was dead. charge for a good job, do a good job and don't cut corners to make it cheep as it will come back to bite you.
