How much should electrician charge for fitting new power points?

THE_LONE_RANGER_4

To Be Honest The Selfemployed Can Charge What They Want I Work On An Hourly Rate In My New Self Employed Job At Around £50phour THAT IS WHAT I CONSIDER MY TIME TO BE WORTH As Long As You Are Told Of The Rate At The Beginning There Is And Should Not Be Any Complaint These programmes On Tv Are All VerY Well But If Price Is Agreead Beforhand And Good Work Done Everything Is Fine

Yes lone ranger in theoery you are correct.
You will find a level in any line of work.If you way to dear eventually your work drys up.
So you have to find the top line you can charge and still get work.
People will pay that bit more for a neat clean reliable tradesman "in my case a Plasterer" but you can't take the mick.

I have used a fantastic electrician over the last 12 months who issued me with the new regulation certificate for the work carried out and tests made.
Do Electricians have to sit a refresher course now like the Corgi guys?

ISAYOLDCHAP Don't get me talking about these CORGI guys who get to do part P work after setting a 4 day course.It took me 3 years to get my qualifications.Ask a corgi guy what negative feed back and dual phaseing is and see if that 4 day course has done justice!!

£150 material + labour

I'd generally go with £30 per point, this can be anything from a light to a swith, to a socket. So your 4 sockets would be £120, then £30 for material !

Does that sound good or what ?
