Going rate
Mike3/5/04 10:13
We have a near neighbour who did work with his father, in Garden Maintenance. He has thought of starting up again, but is at present working in a factory. Another neighbour did 'use him' to trim a hedge. We would now like him to do the same for us, which he said he would do and 'it doesn't matter about paying me, I will do it for you' I would like to give him at least the going rate, especially as he is going to start on his own at some time or other. The job involves dropping the height of a 12 ft high Hawthorn Hedge to about 7 ft over a length of about 20 - 25ft. I would hate to embarrass him. What is the usual hourly rate for skilled or semi-skilled work in your area? Perhaps you could ask the local labour exchange or whatever it's called now! I think that's the only way you can assess it fairly. Here in Devon, it's quite low for un-skilled at around £5.00 per hour. But our builder charges about £14.00 per hour, I think. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |
