Just sit back and sip your pint laughing at the donkey doing the rewire for that price. There loss anyway Tel

 

[telectrix]

even working @ £50/point i get £2800 and that's without points for shower/cooker/fans, and CU,earthing and bonding.

 

[The Ghost]

We have a guy in Bristol who will rewire pretty well any house for £2000, can't beat that!

 

[Octopus]

But do they pay any NI and tax?

 

[snowhead]

Lucky escape there Tel.

If that's what the customer wants to pay, they'd have been trying to pick fault and argueing over your price if you'd got the job.

 

[snowhead]

But do they pay any NI and tax?

I'm employed full time and don't pay N.I and if I remember correctly Tel won't pay N.I either.

Now Tax, that's a diffeerent thing.

Does that mean you can avoid class 4 NI's too due to your age?

I have paid my 35 years of NI so can I stop contributing now?

 

[telectrix]

don't have to pay NI if over 65. 30 years subs. gets full state pension, murdoch, ask your accountant. you may be able to opt out.

Leave them to it Tel, you can charge what you like when you get a call to put it right. All joking aside though rewires are hard work and knackering so you've saved yourself some stress there.

 

[Hardwired]

I tend to knock them back anyway. Pain in the bum. All that wraggling.

 

[telectrix]

in fact the house is right next door. new owners. to be honest, i'd let the cowboys do it, then make a decent earner out of putting it right. they already know a neighbour who bought house just rewired ( organised by seller) and know that another spark had to come and put it right. so they may decide to pay that bit extra and get a decent job.

Don't get beat up mate. Some people just want the cheapest price thinking the quality will remain the same. It'll it hit them when things start going wrong.

 

[telectrix]

I'm not bothered if i don't get it, TBH. prefer to do 50 small jobs, in and out in a day sort of thing. at 70, don't want to tempt fate by buggering up what bits of me still work.

 

[gutterball]

I never bother about being undercut on pricing. I quote what I thing the job is worth and if someone can do it cheaper good luck to them. I get plenty of work at the price I charge so dont miss enything.

Blimey tel, you've got some bits that still work ? You lucky bugger

I try not to do jobs for neighbours if I can help it. Once you start, they think your at their beck & call 24/7.

It ain't me @Vortigern - I got standards and they're high and can't be bought off!

Just tell your new neighbours to be sure that they will be provided with an Electrical Installation Certificate and that with work will be properly notified to the local authority. All included in the price.
Tell them to make sure the sparking company is a member of an Electrical Competent Person Scheme.

Those simple questions usually gets rid of 50% of the competition.....
