Yeah I even just wasted MY time just double checking because I don't travel outside my wee bubble down here in east kent. Even PAYE sparks on indeed are looking at 40k on the cards with van etc. Subby bottom of the range is £20 and that had zero bites in 12 days....lol
Funny enough there WAS an ad for improvers at ......................£150 a day lol again posted 12 days ago zero takers.
Posting to either wind people up or he is trying to get someone to work for him at £15 per hour lol

If anyone is winding anyone up I think it's you....£40,000 paye...is ludicrous....look in the job agencies in Maidstone ...you won't fine any electrical work offering more than 16.00 per hour including overtime ...40,000 is chartered engineer money.

If indeed any of this is remotely true (it can't be. How can anyone live on 8k per year unless you are still at home.woth your parents maybe?) I'm not sure that someone who is in the trade but doesn't know what notifiable work is, or has no grasp of building regulations, is worth more than £15 per hr.

Seems to good to be true...there must be a catch
 
From his previous posts @Brian Taylor has been a sparky for over 30 years. And mustn't have increased his prices since he started out.

8k a year take home, well you ain't gonna be paying any tax on £153.84 a week. Aldi is a tenner an hour, if you can get a job with them for 16 hours a week then you get a slight take home pay increase, holiday pay and some pension. A step in the right direction.

Yeah the catch is you need to be a fully qualified electrician to the latest standards. If you look closely at the copy/pate i did from indeed you will note that there is 4 ad's there 3 offering over 40k and one offering £22-£23 per hour....So that's 4 jobs all with a "catch".
Right I'm off to watch the rest of the snooker now. I am done with the --- for tat. In my humble opinion you are either on the troll path or you simply are not qualified and you are just doing leccy work for friends...If that's the case you could earn more as a improver/electrical labourer.
I promise (myself) that I am done with this now lol. I'm actually working nearly a full day tomorrow so I need to rest now lol.



Sorry to OP as this has just distracted from your question which I hope has been answered. Think we said 3 days at your day rate and we assume/hope your day rate is high enough to actually cover your expected wages and your business costs from admin to fuel including every single pound that you spend to operate your business including sick pay/holiday pay/down times insurances and the plethora of stuff that MANY people overlook when they first start a business.

No need to apologise! My thoughts is this man is a troll no 2 ways about it 🤣

But appreciate all the genuine replies you've been great help, thank you.
