How much would you charge for a days work?

[Goody]

Hi,

How much is the current going rate of charge for a day’s work, without scaring off the clients, for the normal week days and weekends?

Thanks!

£150 for weekdays £200 weekends plus fuel if say you have to drive more than 30 - 40 miles to get there.

It's not such a straight forward answer, new into the industry, not worth more than £100 IMO, new as in experience, I won't knock short course electricians "5 day wonders" some may call them, but I know I'm a lot quicker and experienced .... So experienced guy 150 -200 per day, new but lacking experience, £100 ish

If do a 5 day course then work for free to get experience as you might have papers but without pratical experience its worthless
