Pricing

[Sparkydan]

Hello

I am looking for some advice on pricing, i am registered as a Ltd company and a Nic Eic domestic installer and for the last few years i have been sub contracting doing commercial jobs and fitting in my own domestic work where ever i can for extra cash, I am now looking to finding my own work and making use of being registered with the Nic, I could do with some advice on pricing and advertising etc to get me started.
I have priced jobs in the past but im still not 100% sure i was doing it right as it all seem to be guesswork, Im told alot of people charge between £50-£70 per point for rewires and the total covers the other bits like the board and bonding etc and that for the smaller jobs such as changing light fittings sockets etc are charged at £30 p/h does this sound right or is there a more structured way to pricing jobs?


Thanks

im in the same boat as you tbh mate, just starting out pricing is very hard sometimes... i tend to look at the job if i dont know how long it will take me i will quote day rate, if its just a little job change a few socket fronts etc i do it on price.

but dont forget when you get home you have to do the certs invoice and all that so maybe add a bit on for that.

no matter how cheap you are sometimes other people can do it cheaper

hope that helps somewhat
