hi everyone

My hubby is an electrician with 15+ years experience however he struggles with having confidence in pricing jobs and worries that he he asking for too much, I don't think he charges enough and he often lets people take advantage of his good nature, he is part p registered, we live in Dorset in the Bournemouth area, he has been asked to quote for an occupied rewire of a 4 bed bungalow with a loft conversion and has worked it out on a price per point, there are 107 points (lights, switches, sockets etc) in the job the quote includes a new consumer unit, testing and cert, can I ask what other electricians would charge per point for this type of work? Please message me privately if you don't want to say on here, I'd really appreciate some help! Thanks

Hi Buba,

I have had a read of some of your replies, a occupied rewire is a nightmare with moving furnishings, damage that can or may occur and the mess it will create, I make sure the people are aware of this and sign it in a contract, the making good of the walls? the good thing is its a bungalow. for the amount of work and hindrances the suggested amounts are around the mark, easier in a bungalow though. Another thing, is your hubby supplying fixtures or the clients not much variation but if the client wants top of the range new switches and sockets, dimmers then this may even increase the quote by the extra cost. Tell him good luck
