I Need Work Electricians/rewire teams required

[Electric Magic]

for example a 2 bed terraced shell unoccupied average points £550
3 bed £650

Is that £550 per person or for the whole lot? If the whole lot I make the minimum number of points for a two bed (not including cooker circuit) to be over 30. Plus the bonding, CU and cooker circuit. Let's say £160 of the £550 is for doing those (lol) that's less than £13 per point. A third or less of the likely charge to the customer (even in Wigan).

What a load of -------s... there's a reason I don't and never will house bash and the OP's post is the perfect reason why.

Is this really what is going on.. hourendous! I wouldnt even consider it even if it was next door for my best mate and i could do it over 3 years.
Its people like you that are dragging our trade to the bottom.

550 for a rewire in England in the year 2017???
How the hell do you sleep at night? (In a very expensive bed no doubt)
Obviously a Mickey Mouse set-up where the installation certificates will be worthless

In Wales £ 550 per house was the price in 2005
Having said that,the guy is offering work,if someone thinks what he is paying is well below what that someone thinks their worth,simple look elsewhere

He has won his contracts in the open market,if he can't get the labour,he will pay the price himself,its business,he should not be personally insulted

 

[KennyKen]

Well I think your wrong. It's pimps like him who drive down the wages while reaping the benefits...

About time Unions were reinstated in U.K. Fair wage for a fair day's work. Seems like everyone's talking the ---- over there.

A while ago we priced some 3 bed new builds at £2250 each, two other firms priced them, one at £2190 each and the other at £1375!

The £1375 quote won it. I got a peek at a first fix and it wasn't pretty!

 

[telectrix]

triple the price and you may get a few bites. £550 is charles dickens'wages.

the closeness of your quote and the £2190 shows that is a sensible price. £1375 is a cowboy chuck it in quick bodge price.

If you insult people there is a very real risk you will be insulted back. Offering peanuts to qualified tradesman counts as an insult in my opinion and I would even agree with the description someone else used as he is just pimping and taking the mick with the Mickey Mouse price

OP asks for a clean job and a quality finish, you've got no chance pal with the rates you're offering.

If he's offering us so little, presumably his cut will be equally small.....
