Washing Machine Repair

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Nowhere near £99 for what I reckon is about 15 mins work to someone who knows what he is doing.

Reckon I would be on about £30 an hour if I was working now

15 minutes work. Could be longer. There's time spent travelling. The company will get a percentage cut. If the guy is self employed and contracted to Bosch he'll have things like his own pension to pay, he won't get sick pay etc.

They're almost always subbies. No pension, holiday pay, sick pay. People need to realise that he or she has to factor that into their price and they have to pay. Add to that personal insurance, business insurance, public liability, shit loads of travelling and then your van breaks down, and if there's a problem it's you getting the phone call at 9pm
