fair day rate for a carpenter in london?

bobwilson

When you google search "day rate carpenter london" it comes up as £11.75 per hour. Is this about right?

And, where do I go about finding a decent one?

Thanks

Self-employed?

Probably around triple that.

Doozergirl

No way. Double that.

You really can't compare what you pay acting on behalf of a contractor to what Joe Public will pay. You are undoubtedly getting preferential rates.

And undoubtedly not paying £11.75 an hour.
