Negotiating a payrise...???

Im nearing the end of my apprenticeship as an eletrician with a huge utility firm and believe I warrant a payrise. I have been running jobs on my own and complete jobs to a standard of other guys, yet have been informed unofficially that they will not be looking to pay the grading others get as they can just can recruit sparks with more experience if they require it on the firm. Im just wondering how I can be democratic with my boss over this.

    You: Hello boss, can I have a chat?

    Boss: Well, of course, sit down. What would you like to talk about?

    You: Well, I'm coming to the end of my apprenticeship and I have been running these jobs on my own and feel that I complete the jobs given to a high standard and would like to know if I would qualify for a pay rise?

    Boss: Hmmm, let me see, (you either then get a yes or a f off!)
