emergency call out rate

[Rybo_1]

Evening all,

Came off the phone with the boss earlier after him asking me what £/ph I would be after if we were to take up a contract with a letting agents for emergency call outs. We, as a company already do general maintenance for them. I'm based in SE England and all work within an hours travel

I was after some.advice as in to what the average rate is for this sort of work. I was thinking of going back to him with two different time brackets. Say 5pm till 11pm and then 11pm till 7am.

What do you all think?
Cheers

As a Self employed plumber, my emergency call out is quite high, and I decide a price depending on what time and day it is,

But remember,
If you go to an emergency call out, your still in work the next day a X o'clock just with less sleep
You might end up missing out on a nice meal/date with the other half, (there never happy when you cancel plans)
Once your up in the middle of the night, have drove somewhere and sorted the fault, you might not get back to sleep and be in work the next day or out with family

This is why my emergency call out is high as I don't live to work, I work so that I can live

Ask if he is going to pay you a stand by rate, or if he's just expecting you to be called out, at any time, it needs to be done on a rota, So much for stand by, (inconvenience money) with a minimum pay of 2hrs

Tell him no amount of money's enough, call out is $hit.

2 & 1/2 time min 2 hours if called out then per hour
he should be charging client at least £150 per hour so go figure that out while he's in bed.lol
