What do you think is a fair price for a re-wire for a 6 bedroom house. Older type of house that's stuck in the 70s, lived in but only just moved in so more boxes to shift than furniture, however everywhere is carpeted. Basement - big room and bathroom, hall. Ground floor, 2 reception rooms, big dining room, big kitchen - fitted so a ballache to re-wire. 1st floor, 4 Bedrooms, 1 ensuite, main bathroom 2nd floor 2 bedrooms and cupboard Submain needed to garage (10M or so) and re-wire garage Couple of outside lights Basic stuff, 3 or 4 sockets per room, 1 centre light, fans in bathrooms, smoke/heat alarms, all white plastic, no aerials and no alarm. So its a big 3 storey victorian type semi detached house with a cellar what would be a ball park figure for re-wiring this place, I recon 2-3 weeks for 2 people.
Why no alarm?, just one telly it will be protecting will probably cost four times+ the amount of outlay to protect it and the rest of the contents
I can work the price out, it seems the customer cant. I put £5500 in and didn't hear a dicky bird. As for the Tvs and alarm I'm sure I would probably end up doing them, it makes sense to do it whilst its like it is however if you put these in your original quote you will never get the job. Everyone else will quote these as an extra.
4 Levels and big rooms, 2nd fixing 3 sockets is the same amount of time in any size room, however with large rooms you have to take up twice the length of floorboards and drill twice as many joists using twice as much cable, its here the job is either lost or won. I would want £3500 to wire a standard occupied 4 bedroom house without having to run a submain across a garden and then wire a garage (maybe should have said the garage was detached). oop north by the way.
Manchester, I recon about £800 or so in materials, and £4000 wages plus a contingency, hopefully do it in 2 weeks if all goes to plan.
Based on your labour and materials I come out at £9800. 2 men @ £600 per day = £9000 + £800 materials.
Tender YOUR price that you need to keep afloat after business costs, if you do not get it, move on thats business
£6,500 + £1,500 refundable retainer (to cover extra work and material cost varibles) and thats with out seeing it (i price up size up jobs order materials etc on behalf of a spark)
and then £1,500 for the garage with £500 refundable retainer (as all jobs are done as per building price)
Generally around 150 a day but it wouldn't take me 3 weeks depending on job I tend to earn more than 150 a day
