How many eicr in a day

[magnoliafan89]

Hi guys whats your take of how many EICRs can be done properly in a day average of 5 to 8 circuits ranging from 1 bed flats to 3 bed houses?? This would also include travel and also doing any repairs whilst there?

Well maybe but at the end of the day it's the customers

60 days for £40!....? no way, this is definitely a windup or trolling what quals do you have? So not only do you have to take ya tools fuel van scheme insurances testers and calibration out of that poultry amount you are probably accruing overdraft charges as well.....

who determine his much they will pay....and I have no idea how much Tescos pay ..the absolute minimum i guess

Well it might be poultry to some but it's a wage to others and as for qualifications i have what use to be called the A certificate and the test and inspection very ..be interested in knowing what others have

It’s not a wage....it’s not even minimum wage so on that context itS poultry....all quals are on display in the profiles of you opt to do so....Qualifications will have no relevance in how you as a sole trader business charge....you must do other work being self employed? What do you charge for these?

No you determine how much they pay. If you’re Happy doing the job for £40 and consider you are producing a professional insurance backed certification then I would suggest you make yourself familiar WithTesco et al. You would be better of and much less vulnerable.

I’m sure my customers would like to pay £40, i wouldn’t be doing it for that so good luck to em....I’m also sure your customers are paying a lot more than £40, you are either insane or are trying to justify paying peanuts to somebody!

Well I don't think I'm insane and as I work in my own i have nobody to pay anything to

Tesco's pay £9 an hour (according to google). That's for an employee, so you get holiday pay, pension, sick pay.

Self employed doing EICR's for £10 an hour with own van, test kit, and 60 day payment terms, I can't see it somehow. I've heard of the race to bottom...well done, you deffo have won that.

£40??? I just can’t get my head round it all. It’s just not sustainable on that sort of money...

 

[123]

Well I don't think I'm insane and as I work in my own i have nobody to pay anything to

HMRC, Test software, Van Upkeep & MOT, Diesel, Tester Calibration, Upkeep of tools & equipment, Insurances, Pension...just to start the list off. And that's before any living costs are taken into account, you are insane.

He would literally be better off unemployed and claiming benefits....

Well £80 is day is £400 a week or 1600 a month which is a good deal better than some jobs i see advertised...and seems reasonable for electrical work .

The JIB minimum rate for an electrician is currently £14.99/hour, even a 3rd year apprentice gets more than you according to the JIB minimum rate!

yes I do other works ,mainly small works such as replacing damaged sockets,switches etc..I try to be fair with people it's no good fleecing a customer as work soon gets around that youre a rip off merchant and you lose work which is exactly what would happen if I tried to charge some of the rates in this site. There has been one on here who claims to have charged £50 per hour ..this is more than an accountant and I really do think that an accountant or similar job is far higher in the social scale. I think that there has to be a sense of proportion here, we as box standard electricians are lower middle on the qualification scale, above let us say a semi skilled worker but not in the same level as a white collar professional and we must price yourself accordingly or we risk losing our work to other trades.....Have you seen how many plumbers, gas fitters and kitchen fitters now have NICEIC membership and carrying out electrical work

Oh yes, of course, you must keep yourself within your correct place on the social scale!

How dare anyone possibly consider trying to charge a fair price for their work, they must only ever price according to rules set down by the upper classes for those in the 'lower middle of the qualification scale'

Effectively you charge/earn less than a Tesco employee. Be as fair as you like, if you where in my area and any good I'd bring you on board, pay you a bit more, and sub as much as I could out to you. I won't get be getting out of bed for £80 a day.

Plumbers, Gas fitters, Kitchen fitters may be NICEIC and doing electrical works...but not at £10 an hour.

Well maybe this is why do many small electrical companies are going bust..the JIB wage rates are too high..as a non JIB company i can do a job cheaper than than those that belong to it which put

I can only assume you have a very low opinion of electricians or have simply set out on here to offend people. This won't work, trolling can be the only logical explanation. Why disrespect someone for getting paid £50 an hour (I charge and pay more) when you are happy with £2.99 an hour. Who is the fool ? All indicators point to you.

Are many small electrical companies going bust?

Just because you can do a job cheaper it doesn't mean that you should!

I've never heard anyone say the JIB rates are too high before!
