The Electrician
£25 minimum price per job (plus extra for mileage/travel time if it is more than a couple of miles away), then £25 per hour on top of that. That is what you should be charging MINIMUM as a qualified electrician.
Then on top of that add on the money for cable/parts etc plus a little bit extra commission/beer money if you want.
The problem we have now is there are too many electricians scrambling around for work and underpricing each other to get the jobs,and then on top of that you have mickey mouse 5 week courses that someone can do and go out and do electrical work without the proper training and competence required. The result of that is electricians earning less money than someone with no qualifications doing manual labour factory work.
Electrical installation/maintainance is and should always be a professional job for professional people who get paid a good wage to do the job they do. No if/no buts, we all need to stick together and keep this profession from becoming a joke. Saying you are an electrician should be something to be proud of and you should be highly looked up to and respected
