jb-eye Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Whats a reasonable rate for installation / maintenace? (domestic / business) £300 a day. If your subbing then it's less. Everyone has to make a crust. Obviously this is my opinion and I've seen it a lot less. You get what You pay for. Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what You pay for. Talking to my mate yesterday who runs a fire firm, he's got a few subby's on at the minute - he's paying 130, 135 and 160 a day. Think he said he had four on the lower rates and one on at 160. He said rates have come down and used to be a fair bit higher. I think his own lads are tenner an hour, or atleast they were a year or so ago, didnt ask yesterday. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

plasmarb Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Cheets for the replies guys, i've always thought £150 was the going rate. So you could could as much as 300 for domestic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a sub was to get his own job in then I assume they would double their rate Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmarb Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 So is £150 a good rate to be installting a 4 camera system at a customers house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistle Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 By the time you have paid you tax, car, fuel, insurance,accountant, phone bills etc etc etc you won't have a lot left out of £150.00 a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxo Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 £300.00 a day for install and commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Well it depends on your overheads. We have subcontractors that vary from 140 to 280 a day depending on skill level, speed etc. But decorators etc usually charge more than 150a day for labour only. I assume you are working direct for a client and they are supplying the gear? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Cubit Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ah pj. So who you work for is paying all the overheads. And no tax, vat etc I suppose? Nah, he's gonna be a good little boy and declare it all to HMRC on the additional Self Assessment he asks them for. He'll also be rushing to inform the Tax Credits people of his new found wealth, can't be over claiming on benefits, it's naughty. And he'll be fully covered on PL insurance - can't be breaking the law can we. Far too risky. All that on top of the likely breach of contract with his employer. And for what, £150 a day?? Cheaper to stay at home and cut the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
