Day rate at the moment is whatever you can get, not alot of work about so rates are being cut, only you know what you need per day ! but you need to ask what are the rates around your area, as what other area's are chargeing is not relivant.

In merseyside only getting £100 per day for plumbing/gas complete bathrooms. Think it reflects the amount of fitters compared to work. I'd Be happy with £400 a week if it was full time!

I was getting £15.50 per job sub contracting to Dyno. Had to do a lot of jobs to earn a decent wage though as had to pay diesel and van costs.

£100 a day isn't much by the time you take diesel, tyres, wear & tear, tools etc out of it. But as others have said, too many guys out there, one of the reasons I now fit meters for a big firm that just pay me a wage.
