Blimey Prices Are Dropping!

[northernspark]

The prices some people put in these days are unreal, given up arguing now I just leave them my card and tell them they know where I am once the 5ww/cowboy is finished

Have to say with the council work though I did a lot of it a few years back it was 1400 a rewire with fans smoke alarms etc on as extras if the houses didn't already have them or 750 for an update which was mains wired smoke alarms, new accessories a db change and test, any remedial work found in the testing was an extra as well. Usually done by 3 lads rewire was a week an update was 2 days always occupied and everything was chased and patched we left the houses spotless (usually a lot cleaner than when we entered) they used good gear as well aico smokes, Wylex boards with rcbos and bg accessories it was all supplied by the council too

I think that the guys who do the council contracts around here get £600 for a flat rewire - team of 4 and done in a day

Team of 4, well that's £800 then materials on top of that, what are they monkeys getting paid peanuts, that's a joke if its correct.

Round here couincil rewires pay £400 a job to be split between a spark a mate and a labourer....told them where they could go take a long run....off a short pier.

Where do they get these mugs from ffs. Must all be foreign

 

[binky]

Pay peanuts get monkeys....Never seen foreigners that desperate, just rough buggers who lash work so couldn't get private work.

THEO!!!!!!!

Told you before - you are NOT a 5WW, no matter how much you pretend to be.

My memory isn`t THAT bad (yet)

I just priced up an extension for 21k after working on the other part of the house

a

builder quoted 10k for the electrics not realising it needs 2 cu's once the old one has been relocated while the garage gets demolished

quoted 4k for 2 flat conversions

3k for an extension and cu move

both those jobs I have without other quotes

not a bad reputation for a 5ww !!!!!!!!

thats a BIG extension,!
