    if someone wants to take down 7 lights, replace them with pendants, drive 20 mins to new property and put up 7 lights for £60 they're welcome to the work. Oh and of course you have to pay cash for this, so no record or comeback if anything goes wrong...

    Sparky will do the job properly - it's up to you to decide if this is 'fleecing'

    60 is stupidly low, I would be looking for a catch.
  • I charge £35 per hour

    In this instance it would be charged from arrival at first job to finishing at the second job.

    As it's an hourly rate the client can save money by making things acessible and removing shades / breakable items etc
    baldly going on...
