Pricing for a job need help

[Pretty Mouth]

Ah well I'm sure your next question is how much do I earn....I will save you the bother of typing....last year my take home pay was a little over £8000.00....now it makes sense?

It doesn't make sense. I don't see how you can pay for basic rent, bills and food with this.

many months ago I posted the same situation.

someone I know was investigated .It was all going ok, "Ive had a terrible year blah blah blah" .Tax man then turns arounds and says "Now show me how you lived " ? He could not show how he paid for things as it had all been cash in hand etc .Tax man laughed his head off and told him it happens all the time .The clever ones GET OVERDRAFTS /LOANS OR USE CREDIT CARDS etc to at least say this is how we funded our everyday needs

I'm becoming more convinced that this a long slow wind-up game.
Other threads are available and maybe more deserving of attention!

He’s been on a few threads over the years with this £150 a day pricing from what I recall, they all seem to go the shame way.

I’m not buying it to be honest. Plasters I use are charging £200 a day (cash price). I don’t see why any self respecting Electrician would work for £150, double it and we’re getting closer.

Don't forget the £85 EICRs.

Exactly, and anyone conducting them for that price is contributing to the demise of the trade.

It's got to be a wind up! I hadn't seen that thread, if it's not then the guy must be living in a different country or timezone!! Even your average man on the street has heard of NICEIC!! 40 yrs in the game and doesn't know what notification is. Can't be true.

You won't get any trades people in my area for less than £200 cash per day in my area

A friend of mine tiled my bathroom just before Covid and I paid him his normal cash rate and that worked out roughly £600 for 2 days work

All this nonsense of £150 a day is laughable , I was getting £150 a day 15-16 years ago

Well again I guess it must be down to where you live....if you advertised in this area you'd have to fight them off.

You speak as if North Kent has a wall around

Jesus lol. I was erring on the side of trying to be "diplomatic". But seeing the other thread leads me to believe it's a wind up OR it is actually Dave from the end of the bar who hasn't put his prices up to match real electricians lol.

£150 a day is a wind up , it has to be....

The 16 year old lads that sweep the building sites in London get more than that
