Is this a decent price for a kitchen rewire?

[Sparky00]

Hi all,

The ceiling is all open and an extension is being built and in total, the kitchen is going to be about 16m². Fuse board is nearby and the following is to be first and second fixed:

1x new cooker circuit - £80
2x heat/smoke- £140
8x sockets- £320
8x downlights- £400
3x switches- £120
1x spur- £40

Total= £1100.00

everything is supplied and fitted

Property is based in London with free parking and 5 mile drive from home. How would you price it as I am new to pricing so it may be too much or too less.

I would have thought in London that your prices would be double that.
Up North I charge £70 per socket,£70 per spur and cooker £120,smoke £100 and heat £120 and downlights are £40 each.These prices for everything supplied and fitted by myself.

I've never done a job where I priced it, I can say it's the first time and I just need to know how you guys price it and how much you would've done it for. Thanks for the info!

Does that include notifying local authorities for all new circuits?

I'm doing it for a friends dad as he's not able to work but he'll be the one certifying it, not myself.

In Londinium, I would double that

It looks good,1st fix in a day,ditto 2nd fix,1/2 day to test & certifiy,
Allow 3 days say £600,+ materials.

Seems quite low for London pricing. That said if it's enough for you and your over heads then go with it.
Always add a percentage for snags and bits you need.

To cheap
I would be About £1500 local not london

 

[MJPD29]

I have heard of similar jobs being a lot more expensive in London.

same here around 1.5K. compared with tens of grand for the project it'speanuts.

 

[Andy78]

I agree with the £1500 mark, and I'm nowhere near London, physically or financially.

 

[Dustydazzler]

1100 is very much on the low side

i would say most companies in the London Area would be double that and some

2000 would be a very fair price

Submit the price that you have worked out, if you win the job then keep a good account of the job so that you can see exactly how much profit you made,and see where/how you need to adjust your pricing strategy.

 

[telectrix]

i would not submit that price without further thought, considering the replies so far, OP is too cheap. he shoud submit £2000 estimate and maybe negotiate down to around £1700.

As I said, I've never priced a job before or even knew about prices as I work for a small company as an apprentice. These figures have exceeded my expectations by far.

Thanks for the info!

Has the company you work for asked you to price this as a learning exercise for your apprenticeship?

You need to remember to include overheads in your price, things like public liability insurance, scheme registration for part P, cost of dealing with any callbacks under warranty etc etc.

No it was purely out of curiosity, I've always wanted to know how qualified electricians price their jobs and for how much they do certain things for. I've got a lot to learn by the looks of it. This is a small job of a friends dad that has asked me to do it for him.

I thought it's a good idea to start learning from now to have a guideline setup for myself in the coming years.

While everyone is here, what are the main types of customers I should expect to come across too?
