oh, btw, I have a BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering.
Ninety percent of the population could do what you do after a few months training.
you can charge what you like but if you are charging more than £30 and hour for your 'expertise' you are simply ripping off your customers. That's OK, you are not alone, I (the customer) have been ripped off many times I know it and you know it.
£350 is around the average price for a board change.It's not just changeing the fuseboard it also involves a full test of the circuit's plus notification.
£200 sounds like your trusted electrician is doing you a favour with 'mates rates' as you always use him.
It's not so much a North/South divide thing though prices do obviously vary.
well you know what they say...its grim up north n all that lot....Im glad I don't live up there..... £350 all day long. Taking the old board off and putting a new one on is perfectly doable in 3 hours (or even an hour and a half) if the circumstances are good, but with testing, certing, rectifying, notifying and what not, anything much less than £350 is silly.
With regards to labour costs north and south....in my experience the sparkys working with 50 miles of london arn't particularly desperate for work, even now so can afford to charge the going rates. From what I hear, its not like that in much of the north these days.
The bloke is a gopping Tip Taster I refuse to feed Trolls...They are like Rats..feed them once and they come back..Poison them by refusing to be baited..

As a customer (and you all will be customers for other trades at some point or another) all we want is a good job for a fair price. Of course we would all like to think that we are worth £bigbucks an hour because we are so well qualified doing highly skilled work that can only be done by the super intelligent. This job can be done in 3 hours. You can then dance around testing whatever for another hour and fill in some paper worl for another hour. At best you've got 5 hours work that means that you believe that your skills and qualifications make you worth £50+ per hour that puts you on an annual salary of in excess of £100,000. You of course are happy with that but would you be happy to pay the plumber, carpenter, builder etc., that kind of salary and what about the teachers, nurses etc, surely they should be on an equivalent salary. That's how Greece ended up where it is!
