They've missed a zero off that £20 Stepps . Edit : OOOpps didn't read your last post . Wouldn't entertain the idea ...my favourite people Recruitment & Agencies ashing in on our skills & knowledge, they can courgetting well jog on .

maybe issue 1 certificate per board, 1 per circuit & 1 per accessory?

I think they are trying to appeal to the 'new' generation of sparks.
£20p/hr they've got to be well on the way to the £40k p.a target set by the training establishments??

well to get that you will need to work 40 hours per week (40x houses) for 50 weeks of the year...

what I don't get is they ask for you to have your own tools and vehicle so I assume you have to pay for fuel, parking, calibration etc so that at least £3k out of your imaginary £40k .

Another totally pointless business / scam.... £20 for a EICR. I would not buy one, although just had a thought...... I would buy one , get killed by the dodgy wiring that was missed and get my dependents to sue the company.....there is a flaw in my plan but my wife wont tell me what it is..... puzzling

Just a thought. Is this £20 per hour PLUS £20 for a certificate?
e.g. you take 5 hours testing a house @ £20 per hour. go home and type the certificate, and get paid £120?

I always ask ..... what is this non - electrical based company charging someone for an EICR which they cannot produce themselves because they are nothing to do with electrical contracting and just sit on their fat backsides creaming off a profit earned on the backs of tradesmen who should be doing the EICR,s for themselves .
Do they have a string of GasSafe fitters on board too so they can earn a crust off their backs ?

oh I'm sure there probably are, there is always a couple at least that make it work to their advantage, whether what they produce is anything more than toilet paper is open for debate.
in the limitations box would you be able to put something like
no tests were carried out as the client only requested a certificate and no actual testing

if I could be arsed, and could afford the risk of not being paid,
I'd love to do something like that with some of these p****** firms,,, :slap

Hmm, I think it might just be terrible grammar? Maybe it means £20 per hour with a £20 bonus per cert, so 1 cert in 4 hours gets you £100? Dunno, Personally I'd give them a call before condemning them.
