I have a minimum charge of £50 so I'm still waiting for the customer who wants 1 item tested!
It was a Pringle machine in a bowling alley near me. I could do with 4 of these jobs a day then I'd go into pat testing full time.
Hey. I'm new to the PAT testing world and before I get going would really appreciate any help you can give on costing. I'm trying to forecast at the moment - so I don't go jacking my current job in to find myself up the creek without a paddle!
I've seen the amounts people charge per item so have a rough idea of what to charge, but I literally have no idea how many items to expect in certain types of business. For example - whats the average amount of money I could make testing a hairdressers, or a restaurant? I know its probably a huge grey area because the amount you can make will depend on the size of the business. I am really new to this and want to make sure I'm fully prepared and aware of the sort of money I can make before I go running away to the sunset only to get burnt!
Thanks in advance
Jen
You don't do much then? the big companies who do this usually do it for a quid an item, I am not suggesting for one minute it is right, but it happens lol, 7-50 haha, well good luck earning a living from that price.When ever I do PAT it's £7.50/item
That's just a side job, I have a full time job alsoYou don't do much then? the big companies who do this usually do it for a quid an item, I am not suggesting for one minute it is right, but it happens lol, 7-50 haha, well good luck earning a living from that price.
