UK Pricing

Craighrvy · Jul 23, 2020

Hi all

Just starting to build up my portfolio again after being made redundant, thanks covid 19.
Just priced a job up and the guy says I'm far too expensive. I beg to differ, but having been out of the domestic trade for some time would like get some more opinions.

Kitchen rewire first and second fix
New ring circuit
7 x double sockets
3 x fused spur drops for appliances
12 x downlighters w/2 way switch
1 x lighting point w/switch
2 x 40a cooker and hob points
Fit 2 x mcbs to existing fuse board.
Disconnect and make safe existing ring circuit
Lots of chasing to do!

What would you guys charge.

I'm also having to pay a sparks to notify Part P as the jobs I do currently will be used for my NICEIC assessment

Thanks in advance

A quick estimate. I would probably be around £1400.

Isn't that what every customer says "oh dear that's to expensive"

I'd be about £1750, if it were a particularly easy job I might go as low as £1500. Did you say you quoted £1250 I think that is very cheap especially with two cooker circuits.

If you are having to buy all the cable & materials from scratch then £1500 is a very fair price + the what ever you have to pay someone to certif the job.

i personally wouldn’t budge off 1500£ , cable is blooming expensive and if you have to buy a roll of 1.5 , 2.5 , 6 and 3c that’s near 200£ before you even start....
