Rates for PIR

[pjb1]

Hi Fellas
Could you let me know if I'm pricing to high on domestic PIR. had two letting agents phone me now wanting to know what my rates are to carry out a visual inspection, Test, and compile a report.I quoted £150 pound. Am i to expensive?

I looking at your average 3 bed semi, Carry this out average 4 hours that visual,test and cert.

Had a letting agent say they got it done for under ninety pound is the report worth doing for that?

What's your view fellas

Problem is that for under £90 they can't be doing a full periodic. They might do a visual and stick a polarity checker in the sockets to confirm there is an earth.

personally i think you are right in allowing four hours, I would because i would want the report to be right rather than turn a quick buck.

Just done one today.... full PIR + cert.

£20/circuit

7 x circuits..... done in 5 hours + 1/2 to write up report

Sorted

£150 about right for NI anyway I do lose some cause someone always does it cheeper but you gotta do it right ,it does depend on how old the house is and how many times Jesse James and the James gang has been there . But I think 150 is even to little as you said it only really only covers your time and it is of more value to the client, no recognision for our knowledge and the fact that we can say wether or not their house is safe and not just pretty. should be £200.
