Going rate
"Mike" wrote in message ... 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. Thanks for that Sacha. The problem is 'a going rate', if I assess that on my rate when I was working, £25.00 - £30.00 and hour, then 'I' wouldn't do it for £5.00 an hour, but he might be embarrassed if I offered him £20.00 per hour. Then logic would suggest £10.00/hr, no? I believe that's about what jobbing gardeners charge round here. More if it's heavy duty stuff involving machinery. We all get on ever so well around here, doing what we can when we can for each other. And long may you do so. Steve |
