Good one Nick. Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Good fair honest pricing for quality work.Have a great christmas

Drifting readings on your megger could be down to your lead kit, flexing over time could create high resistance when the leads are in a certain resting position, having replaceable leads is a godsend, go see Paul!

Merry Christmas to you and your family have a great one 🎉

Merry Christmas Nick :)

Please do a video on your video-editing workflow. Which software you use, and other tips. Perhaps a recorded session of your preparing an entire video for upload 👍

Hi Nick. Long time channel stalker but its always good to look and learn and i like the honesty of your videos. As for suggestions how about some videos for competent DIYers and others? im thinking what is and is not allowed for people to do for themselves, basics like how to wire a plug, how to select correct size fuse - really basic up to thinks like adding downlighters off a centre pendant, add a fused spur, add a spurred socket, add LED batten into a garage, those kind of things. I appreciate you need to cover yourself by saying do at your own risk etc etc but better to have a good "how to" than people guessing and really causing themselves some problems. Just an idea.

Love your videos. The MBR on that EV cable coming out of the CU looks a bit tight!

That be great be nice to have a template Merry Christmas to you and the family

Some great insight on your thought process of pricing jobs.... what a lot of customers miss on the profit margin, resession insurance.

Can you do a video on adult learning/ retraining as an adult ? Pros/cons & any advice

Hi Nick, thanks for the video. As an adult learner these videos are very useful. You asked for suggestions for new videos - what about an EICR in real terms. For example what do you do with sockets that have USB, what do you do with cooker neons etc? Do you actually remove all lighting loads?Just an idea you might consider. Have a great Christmas (and say Hello to Adam for me)

Would love to have a pricing guide, I've used your last one many a time to estimate a job. I would say your pricing is one of the most fair and comparable around.

All the best bro 🎅 💰 ⚡️

After a very long time working for companies, going solo now so welcome any info you have!

Was going to mention as a video suggestion to do an update on the Megger x1 and your thoughts on it , but it doesn’t sound like now is the right time! 😂

Good work mate. All these videos on pricing and people still make comments about overcharging, clearly they don't see the bigger picture. Anyone comparing it to other "more qualified" jobs need to compare it to the company itself and not the individual. Regardless of being a one man band this is what the company earns for the job and i imagine nick pays himself a wage like any other employee. The remaining profit after deducting all the overheads generally stays in the business and builds up which is one of the main reasons of running a business and having the stress of the work itself and the countless hours quoting, sorting materials, paperwork. You can comfortably earn 40k p/year on the books as a spark with the standard PAYE benefits so you'd want a fair bit more for the hassle of running a business. if you actually sit and work out how much you'd have to make per day to cover that + associated overheads + profit for the business it quickly becomes clear why it costs what it does. I'm not too far from you and I think your pricing is pretty bang on with what id want to do it. its a fair price for good quality work and great customer service. its quite evident from the videos that you go the extra mile for your customers and would go out of your way to make sure they are happy with the finished product. Keep it up.

I was waiting for the first £1400 to be deducted !!!! Closer to £40p/hr if you include the 8hrs on Friday that was paid holiday so still not bad.

I am retired now. I was self employed for a time charging £75 for a rewire. Sound ridiculous,but this was late 60s into the 70s. Gradually went to £100 plus. Shows you how costs have climbed so much. Ten pound a day labour. As an apprentice I was on about £3 a week. Qualified at age 21 in those days with a 5 year apprenticeship. Thanks for video. I am 76 now. Way out of touch with costs now.

Just out of interest, do you include ‘making good’ the old socket outlets, ceiling rose holes etc etc .. or is that kinda stuff left to the customer to repair/ sort ? Keep up the good work bud, have a great Xmas !

Don't forget a few pints if your staying over

Nick that would be awsome to see the free download etc for the pdf thx in advance have a great xmas

Materials... anything containing copper.... because of the world price ....is going to be well up in cost....On the plus side... good for the scrapper ,?😊😊😊

I wouldn’t minds seeing how you come to work out a per point price , tried it a few times always ends up way off if i quote that way v time&materials … but per point would save alot of quote time

day in the life vid. tool reviews. full rewire timelapse room by room. day of going around quoting :)

Sounds about right. Would probably take me 7-8 8 hour days at 350 per day plus 1500 materials is 4300 and im not vat registered. Trouble is you dont get these jobs everyday you get undercut by 2k most the time

Nick you havent actually deducted the material costs off the total, go through it again and then deduct the materials you spent at the merchants, i think youll find its no where near £900 a day?

Nick do you ever do Intruder Alarms? If so what would be your pricing for this would be interesting to see how you price this and what equipment you use?

Mate, I’ve had 3 x1’s in 3 weeks brand new all had faults batteries are crap and one of them wouldn’t do continuity Megger have 100’s of returns on these hopefully new update sorts the battery 😩 starting to regret the purchase. Maybe speak to Megger they may replace it for you?

I might be wrong but did you deduct your materials? Still though don’t think some people realise the risk we take when pricing work, some jobs come off really well and others we make a loss.

Is there a rough guide of prices a sparky charges per type of job? working for a company, its hard to know what to charge a person for a job or do you make it up or guess??

Am I missing something here where is the chases for this? 🤣

Were all the walls dot and dab and stud work? I don’t see any chases?

Day in the life, video. Waking up wholesalers quoting little job on way home balancing work/family life

I (not an electrician) might be having a simple moment but if all the sockets are new why is there no chasing out of the walls showing?

Correct me if I’m wrong but the way you’ve figured out price etc you seem to have not accounted for your actual material costs because of the way you said I may be wrong here it doesn’t seem like you’ve actually dudected the cost so really around 500 a day

Nick, please clarify how you rewired sockets without any sign of channels? Surely not all walls are stud walls?

Recommend using insulated ducting on fans not that crap white PVC ducting!

Would you travel to SW london for a 5 bed rewire? 1930s house thats empty and needs a full renovation. Thanks

Shame you didn't film it as it looks as if you managed to rewire it with very little chasing or damage to get the cables in.

Love your videos Nick and fully aware people have the choice to say yes or no to a quote but £900/day isn’t great PR.

Does anyone put smokes in the loft? I do but I don’t see any others doing it??

Maybe the tester needs calibration?

I don’t allow for screws /plugs/sundries etc, too much faff. if you can’t make a profit on the price per point basis you’re not good enough.

Funny how you never think of.../ screws.. plugs..bits... clips...cleats...fire mastic... wooden board...large trunking...fillers....And that's only the ones I can think of..... 😮O. forgot grommets

What people dont realise all the expenses in the back ground they think all that money is yours you also got to factor in sick money and holiday money in you daily wage becouse you still got the bills to pay if sick and on holiday and you should also include a pension in your running cost, if you were employed the that al included in a yearly salary

You never deducted the price for the materials. You just added the vat back from them.

Minus the materials you forgot to take off it’s really about 1851 divided by 3.5 is £528 a day

Wood u travel to Oldham for a rewire

Double VAT

People are making this rate who bankrupt councils, but nobody says a word. Just because we dont where a suit and tie doesn't mean we should charge less. People forget the overheads. Well done Nick.

So after deduction off the materials and your day off, Adam made the most money ;)

Haven’t we been here before? Same with the profit from You Tube video.

You should have charged £30k 😜

Shit im on £90 a day as a gas fitters mate. 😒

Would love to see you in the bath with a rubber duck 🤣🤣🤣

I find these negitive comments about making £900 a day laughable! You people have no idea what it takes to be able to get to the point to be able to do that. The sacrifice, the long hours, the working away, etc. You take the risk of starting on your own and paying thousands upon thousands for tools, van, insurance, advertising etc. Its not like he went and did 6 hour days! He's worked away from home and worked long days. The price was more than fair and how much he made is irrelevant. The only thing I would say is he should have paid adam allot more, at least 300 a day minimum but that between them two.

£900/ day - im in the wrong job. Most sparkys charge £300. By the way if you do too many days like that you will be on 40% tax

Absolutely not enough profit for the hard work that goes into them.

£1500 for materials 😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

£900 a day and then sparkies wonder why people cut corners and do things themselves? Hmmmm

Nick, before you get too much backlash on this and give the wrong impression to the uneducated. From what you said you charged £4660. Forget vat its irrelevant as its not yours. Then take off materials £1400 and Adam £700. I'm a sole trader and my hourly rate to cover all business expenses is £18 p.h. I guess you spent around 40 hours on this job with the long days so that's £720. That leaves £1840 which is your earnings for 40 hours work or 5 standard 8 hour days. Your day rate was therefore £368 which you then need to pay tax and class 4 NI on. So not as great as people believe.
