Pricing help on kitchen refit

[kev.k]

Hi all!

I have posted on here before for advice on pricing and received some really great advice so wanted to see if I am still in the ball park of fair pricing. I still work for a company but on shifts so have been doing more and more work on my days off. Still unsure whether to just work out a day rate for myself or whether it depends on the job itself how to price. I'm based in the North West.

I have been asked to quote for a new kitchen, the house recently had an EICR and the kitchen ring was fine so they don't want a new circuit just the existing altering.

6 new points for appliances
2 cooker circuits approx 10 metres from CU (hob and double oven) as no cooker circuits currently in
10 spotlights on 2 seperate switches running from existing feeds but new switch wires in new location
Pendant light on seperate switch
Light in conservatory on adjoining wall (no light currently in)
All chrome accessories (10 sockets in total, 2 switches, 10 spots)

If i've missed anything let me know.

Thanks

First things first. Price up all the materials that you will be supplying and add 10% to this figure.
Then try to work out roughly how long in hours that it will take you including testing, paperwork etc.
Are you making good around new boxes and chases? if yes add this to your hourly price.
Add materials to the labour and then stick an extra half day on top for mistakes and alterations to the plan.
Now you have a price to put forward to the homeowner.

I would be somewhere in the £2000-2500 ball park in Surrey South East.

Thanks for your reply!

I estimate 1 day first fix, 1 day second fix with testing. Plasterer will be coming in after first fix so no making good needed.

I have priced up all materials cable, accessories, lights etc at around £400 so was thinking 1400 but maybe I am too low, although with you being in Surrey it's obviously higher rates down there.

Thanks again!

If thats a grand in your hand and you are confident in your 2 days getting the job done without any issues then its about right.
Don't go any lower. 1400 is a very fair price for that amount of work.
I personally wouldn't do it for 1400 but if you are happy then thats all the matters

Kitchen fit outs no longer fall under part pee

True but new circuits do. For the hob and double oven.

I think 2 days is not enough. More like 3.
