I think the trouble is, there are people out there, whether Electrical Trainee or timed served lads that can live on £80/£100 a day, so when they quote, they are going to be alot cheaper. Most of my friends are doing normal, meedioker jobs, earning around £250 a week and they go out more than I do!!! Lets face it, earning £500 notes a week isnt that bad to most people doing 40 hrs a week. But I wouldnt do electrical work for that, I would rahter stack shelves in moggies, where no brains are needed.

At that price if you paid the labourer £80 a day you would make about £160 a day.There is no point doing it for less then that.I would have quoted a bit more
 
Priced one for restraunt 14 rooms above, fire alarm system, e-lighting

11k

Get a call back saying he wants to pay no more than 4k.......

Got him upto 8k then just thought no way am I doing all that graft to not even make wages and the risk of not even getting payed......

Drove past and the restraunt still ain't open!

He might do it himself because he told me he was a "electrician" himself

Lol if he is an Electrician himself you'd have thought that he would understand why you wanted 11k for the job!
