    Hi all,

    Thinking of starting out on my own as an electrician.
    Does anyone have any advice?

    I really don't know how to price jobs from a labour/materials etc point of view.

    I'd really appreciate anyone's opinions/experiences/advice...

    Thanks

    No experience of your area but in my own area I took out the Golden Pages and rang around. Pick a few jobs that you might do and get "quotes" on them. That way you'll see what rate people are charging. Best of luck
