Average wage

[vernam616]

Yeh price work is good, depending if your quick enough to make the money, if you just like to plod along stick with the day rate, i get payed just over £100 a day but my fuel costs/vehicle costs are covered (work for a company)

maybe try a little higher to make it all worth while working for yourself

I can remember asking brian scadden the same question years ago and he told me the basic thing charge what you need to earn the difference is why should i pay more for the same job thats down to you remeber things do go wrong so price that in your work good luck

You know brian scadden ?

Personally I've found it best to do everything on a price..... works out much much better than £xx/hr + mats.

Unless it's a little job on the way home for a bit of beer money

Fair point folks.

Brian's still going strong (at least he was 18 months ago when I did my 17th edn update course with him). Nice bloke, getting on a bit though.

Always a good idea to fully explain your pricing / rates before committing to the job. Everyone knows whats what then and no nasty surprise for the customer.

Saying that I have done the odd little freebie occasionally (rarely though..)
