£15 call out charge im based in manchester if that helps

As a certified BICSI data engineer.

I sometimes get call outs for simple broken outlets max £5 materials, 30 mins on site.

My minimum is always £60 to business - £40 residential.

Hope that helps

is that just your call out charge off £60

 

[pennywise]

£15 thats way too cheap, granted I don't live in Manchester but even so, call out for commercial round my way south west london would be nearer £75 for the first hour plus parts. I don't know what the rates are for around there sure someone will give you a better idea who's nearer to you.

that doesn't sound unreasonable for a callout job

wish i lived down london i would be ritch everyone are tight arses up here lol

 

[pennywise]

They are down here too!,living cost are higher so we aren't that much better off honestly Plus on commercial they can claim it back as a business expense, so I have no sympathy.

Yes, if it's local & materials are just a couple of quid I do it for that.

Generally it opens the door to remedial works - moves and changes, etc.

Was that glanding armoured cable into a 415V plug? what cable SWA or SY type? I surely must have read it wrong.

ffs when i was working for a firm doing supermarkets I got £20 for the first call plus my rate at what ever portion was prevelant at the time ie time n half double ect my boss charged £50 a call during the day £75 at all other times plus prevelant rate

At £15 id expect a lot of calls
