As a matter of interest what exactly is the JIB hourly rate now for an electrician?

Don't really see why they are relevant but here you go.

Many thanks..must admit somewhat higher than i imagined .....just a thought but would love to know roughly what the turnover of the higher charging companies are

Quality of life is so so. Abit sick of London In general tbh.

I know what you mean and to be a Sparks and have to travel around stuck in traffic jams and the added bonus of always trying to find somewhere to park will drive you nuts.

If this is the type of work you do, do you go an look at jobs beforehand or do you give prices over the phone.

normally i just go around and give them a price for the job...I keep a few bits on the van so I can do the job there and then if they go for the price

If it's small bits and pieces you should quote over the phone.

Get what you think you will need prior to the job. Saves you looking at a job giving a price and walking away complete waste of time if your only getting half the jobs.

Some guys are top gun at third year of their apprenticeship, some could take seven years before they're any good.

That's the most sensible thing I've read in along time.
Due to my unparalleled ability to buy really crap homes surveyed by overpaid chimps, I had a lot of experience on how houses are put together long before I started on-site or at college; that became a useful asset in the real world. By comparison, I met a Level four (yep, 4) on-site who didn't know which way his new drill was supposed to spin.

Beginning to think a useful recruitment question might be "when did you last hang a door in an old house and did it close properly"?

Thanks for the advice..will try doing a bit more over the phone
