Hi all!
Posted on here a couple of years ago and got great advice. Have been self employed a couple of years now and always find pricing work the hardest part of the job.
Was recently asked to price for a kitchen and lounge rewire by the builder doing the work. I have priced at 5 days in total at £300 per day plus materials at £700 including spots, sockets etc so £2200 all in.
Builder came back saying was way too high and can get it done half the price, which even if I am too high can't see anybody doing it at half this price and if they do then definitely won't be able to cert and notify it
Lounge
Kitchen
All walls are back to brick and being dot and dabbed so no chasing to be done and ceilings have been dropped so easy access for wiring the lights
Any feedback much appreciated. Thanks!
