Don't know about those rewire prices, they seem very low. Don't know what others think?
Some guys use the number of circuits multiplied by going rate per circuit. £10 - £15 per circuit down here.
I don't use the 10% rule or anything similar, if you know its going to take you all day to inspect and test, then i'd charge a day rate plus a bit more cause its dirty student digs. Students would be living there now as the new academic year has started, so they'll probably be getting in the way, slowing you down, explaining to them not to plug anything in s/o with ir tests etc etc. I think you could charge a couple hundred per flat minimum.
Don't quote me and watch out for the gorgoeus blondes acting drunk, they're trouble .
Try working round where i live .
I recently priced up a 3 bed semi detached in a house i knew was built out of engineering brick with render coating for £1900.
It was for 2 cooker circuits,(40 amp for hob 20 amp for oven) 6 double skts in kit plus ext fan.
4 double skts in living room.
2 double skts in dining room.
2 double in each bed room.
skt in hall and landing.
skt in loft plus light.
kit/living/dining room /hall/landing on two way
outside socket front and back.
extract fan in bathroom.15 min over t with light.
tv point in each room plus amp.
A ll switch back boxes to be 25mm and skt back boxes in kit to be 35 mm (flat plate sockets to be fitted)
niceic test or napit test cert plus 2 year parts and labour warranty inc with first call out free.(unless it was a nail or some such reason.)
£1900 i hear you say - thats unbelievably cheep.
I did NOT get the job.
I was UNCOMPETITIVE the cheapest quote was for £1200.00
The only thing i can think of is that there are a lot of sparks doing work on the side . (unregistered and borrowing materials for the day job)
witch i can believe as i am getting call to price jobs where work has been done with no cert. And one which was so bad I refused to touch it and told him to call building control and trading standards.
Oh I think it's time to move to a new area.
