same here. close family at cost. others at mates rates ( 20% off labour). them buggers you only see at weddings and funerals, normal rates.

Agree. Rewired In-Laws cottage for cost of materials earlier in the year. They've done lots for us over the years so it all evens out.

Immediate family gets it free, next level down gets 30% off labour, anything else is full whack £25 per hour plus 10% on top of parts.

Damn, you're cheap.....

Really? Do you think? I hear people struggle to charge £18 per hour not too far from here. I feel like I'm ripping people off at £25, my diary is always full up.

...my diary is always full up.

Clearly not too expensive then.

 

[SPARTYKUS]

Maybe just right.....

My parents and brother just pay for materials.

Friends and family...for simple things, replace a broken switch etc..I just do it. Anything else i say im too busy. Not worth it

Where I live, the price is pretty irrelevant (within reason). It's whether the customer likes you or not.

I normally get charged for doing family jobs, lose my tools for a week or so and then have a constant complaint that I did stuff that was not needed e.g IP rated bathroom lights instead of the 50p one they bought

Parents and sisters get what needs doing,done FOC. All others get advice for free and avoid involvement. I suppose it depends on closeness and perks,but me mum makes great crystal-meth and me sister runs a brothel,so....
