price work rewires

[assegayer]

hey guys

just want to ask are those one day rewires worth it in terms of money...they seem pretty good to be honest.. yes i know ur a tool and the rest of it.

but like 550 for 1 bed

could be split like this

2 sparks 250 each

mate/labourer 50 quid

and the job can be done in one day. whats ur thoughts i dont mind working extra hours even 10 hours is fine

I used to test the flats rewired, for a company that were done in a day by a three man team, they were absolute lash ups

pvc trunking and singles, using the old embedded conduit where they could

had to have three sockets per room, so in each room they just stuck three doubles next to each other lol

fuse boards were the best entertainment

i quickly became the most unpopular bloke on site!

550 for a lash up, pattresses over pride, switch it all on if nothing goes bang make up the results and head off for a well deserved sleepless night. Or do a proper job for proper money and let somesome other mug do a backflip for £250.

too many sparks in your area then mate, it would be a good idea to look further afield or look for different work than house bashing.

the Electrical Trainee will be fighting each other over these jobs

Try kitchen and bathroom fitters, they always require electricians. Or letting agents and landlords, you won't need many to be busy....watch the agents on paying.

I've never advertised, but have found plenty of work.
When I first went self employed I started off doing bits for family and friends who then handed out business cards to all their friends, plus I called a few contacts I had made as an apprentice and let them know I was available.

You pay a high price for not having your own work in this game! Lol

all you get is the scraps left over

NO mate, you can't afford eastern Europeans, you'd be lookin' at failed asulym seekers or other 'vulnerable' people - etc.
Hang yer head in shame dude !

No wonder so many of my quotations get ignored, I'm probably being undercut the same way. This was once a good profession, now its becoming akin to a barter at a Moroccan market.

the biggest problem is they will use your quote to try to knock the first one down

 

[stevethesparks]

I think the biggest problem is trying to do everything right and correct, and that many customers do not appreciate what's involved and go simply on price.
