Depends how long takes you, plus materials .all I can say.

 

[Hawk]

About 3 hours work

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

How much is materials?

 

[Hawk]

Materials cost 60 the cable was 40 alone for 100mtrs but only used about 30mtrs

 

[i=p/u]

You know your customers ... Everyone is different.

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Is wack it in at about 300 then if materials were 60 and bang in a days labour.

 

[i=p/u]

So 3x£25 plus 100=£175 . Taking you've done job already

 

[Hawk]

Yeah job done was wondering if I was dear or cheap? I was charging £25/hr + £85 for flourecsents and materials. 3 hours work

Very cheap hourly rate IMO, depends where you are in the Kingdom though.

 

[Hawk]

Northern Ireland. What is the average going rate?

 

[i=p/u]

Anything around 200 sounds gd , but I'm a small fish with little overheads

 

[i=p/u]

20 -25 I'd assume for 1 man bands but company's charge around £40

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

300 is a fair price, once you have done the job your not getting much else in that day cause of travelling and writing up the cert, bit of fuel money you get the jist

 

[Hawk]

Cheers guys. I suppose if you started a business you would have to charge more to cover overheads.
