True!

So would you say 350 would be about the right money to do a board change, inc parts?

and do you think the LABC would let you test it etc if you havnt got 2391?

well they cant actually stop you testing it, but wether or not they accept your certs is a diffent matter

Danzor is right, you may find that the £140 plus VAT is a price per visit and from what ive read LABC insist on themselves coming out twice.

Once to inspect the first fix before matey boy the plaster covers it all up.

And again on completion.

Dunno if they still would with a board change but best to check if you are considering this route.

Cirrus I too am considering joining Elecsa soon. Do you know much about Napit? Havent really looked into their prices/website etc yet. I do know I wont be contacting the NICEIC. Seems the majority of stuff I read about them is bad and thats from their members!

Napit seems very good but not far off NIC on cost I hear. Elecsa is by far the cheapest. I don't give a crap how NIC may look on my van, just want to be able to sign off!

per visit?!?! that's ridiculous!

and what sort of prices do you charge for a db change?

**Cirrus** · 17-06-2008

If doing other works then around £250 - £300. If just a board change and test then £400

when you say other works i presume you mean on top of the db change, if so, why less money for more work?

lol i know im pretty new to doing any PJ's and pricing for my own work but.......

The way I see it is that you are already there doing work so already got tools on site. Got to be careful because if you are making 300 profit on a board change and say £200 on another job then you start to take the **** and people won't use you if they feel that your £500 for a day is a rip-off (which they will). I try to be fair and not too greedy.

Good point and good advice! thank you!

i know it depends on alot of things but how long would you give yourself for a board change?

**Cirrus** · 18-06-2008

If just a board change then to get it nice and neat I reckon on an hour or so.
