Priced an extension 10 spots with led lamps
About 12 sockets, cooker,utility and wc spotlights and fan/isolator all new circuits what you would expect, new fuseboard new heating supply.
Didn't get the job someone else priced ÂŁ600 labour ÂŁ800 materials.
I said to the guy when they draw the ÂŁ600 and still haven't finished give me a ring lol
 
Back to the subject
look....i`ll be straight on this...i`v been carryin out a few EICRs on some 1 bed flats....been chargin ÂŁ80 a time.....landlords just wont pay any more....but you can get one of those done in about 3-4 hours...so if i do 2 a day....
any remedials are of course on top....the landlords understand that and are happy to go with it so...
theres continuity of work as well....
 
Could have got undercut by someone just starting up on their own, ive been going in cheap the last couple of months to get the ball rolling and get my name around

but know the limit...
i had landlords givin it `oh, well this guy will do a full EICR in a 2 bed for 50 quid`....yeah rite.....except it won`t be done rite...
they must think i fell out of a bleedin tree...
 
The prices ive been quoting have been cheap but only cheap enough the i will beat other quotes by 15% or so, enough to mean i get the job, but not so much that i have to cut corners to make money
