Hey Nick, Would be great to see a updated pricing video and how you quote a job including labour.
The armed floor cutter is suppose to be used on weyrock flooring not plywood.
That's why it's getting caught up and struggling.
Pricing breakdown video would be good 👍 would be interesting to see how others do it.
Pretty sure that ceiling will have asbestos in. If you’re doing that every rewire you might want to get your CAT B asbestos training done so you can protect you, your family and your customers from the long term effects of asbestos exposure.
😂 definitely
Please tell me you had that ceiling scraped😂😂 we don’t wanna lose you Nick!
Up to date pricing & breakdown would be good Nick. Thanks
I’ve subscribed. Can’t wait for content. I love the new studio!!
Hey Nick saw you today at the installer show was gonna come and say hi but you looked busy. Keep up with the videos there great to watch
Drinking on the job again? hahaha
I love Tradify, got it from your recommendation 2 years ago and never looked back.
Loving the beard growing.
Keep up the good work guys
You’re doing all the rewires I don’t want to do, keep it up.
I had a large 4-bedroom cottage done in 2019 for £4000. It was a new board, it hadn't been rewired from the 1940s. LED everything. Don't forget the cost of replastering every ripped wall too. That was about 5 or 6 guys hammering it in 3 1/2 days.
decent pricing that for 5 men working. look at this bloke hes charging 4900 for 3 days work for 2 men sparkies are mugs
Not the most expensive at the time but to the bast of my memory the average for a largish 4 bed house full rewire 20 years ago (with the proper paperwork and final NIC/EIC test certificate) was about £6k in the south of England. (I guess the equivalent nowadays would be 12 - 15k for a typical 60-70 man hour job)…
As someone who lives on the south coast and has just had a complete rewire completed, with the addition of ethernet in all rooms, we spent £6600 not including plastering in the chases as we were also having all the rooms skimmed.
@@chris7187 That sounds like a bargain Chris, especially if you have received your correct certification and are happy with the job. Live long and prosper buddy! 🖖
Great content mate. We do 130 rewires a year (6 of us) and I must say that is a very good price for the spec! Why Mercedes would be a Ferrari if I could get them prices! Keep it up pal
Bet they aye a great standard. Council I’m guessing?
Someone's gotta pay for the Transporter EV Artisan bought!
😂
Integral LED Evofire range of spots take a Gu10 fitting, I.P.65 rating & firerated & have a really neat thin bezel & are around £7.00.
I fit then in everywhere.
Another great video guys! 💯
Be aware that the quoted cost is only for one trade. there is then the whole issue of making good that often costs as much again with all the aggravation of getting all the other trades involved, plasterers carpenters/joiners and decorators and all that is without the temptation to carry out updates and upgrades.
Its annoying that there always seems to be the need to rewire and upgrade electrical installation as the IEE regs keep changing. If that is the case why aren't the installations future proof so that there are wireways created throughout at the buildings construction. My house was built by the previous owner in 1953 and benefits throughout with buried conduit that allows cabling to be replace at ease.
Conduits rule for future generations
I worked it out the other day and good on him. Nick is earning just shy of 100k a year which includes his sponsors & UA-cam
Gross
artisan electrics requires you not to just re-wire but to re-mortgage your house to pay for it.
30K for a rewire!
£30k for a rewire?! ... Mast have been an old mansion, wanted high spec kit and that surely included everything (plastering, floor work and making good)
@@Hustwick Cambridge area mate, apparently everyone there is loaded so they charge London rates.
Really enjoy the vids guys, do you survey for asbestos before you get stuck in? Thats an artex ceiling which can and more than likely contains it in that era of property, really easy to get tested and well worth doing at pricing stage if you don’t already do this 👍
stick a mask on and cut the holes, get he job done. no one waits for tests
Every old house has asbestos, you'd never any work done if you tested everytime. Wear a proper asbestos rated mask and make sure you wash your work clothes daily
I have a guy who does low level tests for us before we start
@@AGRElectrics does he smell it?
@@SuPrAmAd101 bit odd that, no he scrape tests the walls and ceilings. A more detailed test would be inside the fabric of the building and loft areas etc.
Would appreciate a pricing video please
definitley helpful thanks for sharing
love the Smirnoff in the back
Have you ever used the QuickWire T-Connector for spots? be interested in your view on them if you can try them, seeing Adam put earth sleeving on those spots... you dont need it with those.
3.5 to 4k top end 3 bedroom house 4 double sockets each room. Loft lighting and sockets armoured cable to garage with lighting.all fire alarms inter linked.
Cheap?
That's cheap as fuck. Id be about 5-6k for that in Belfast
You doing a great job keep up the good work😃💡🪛👍👍👍
Do you think the usb sockets are worth it these days. Everything is going USBC from A and even if they are USBC, the tech in them in ever evolving to allow rapid charging. I also worry about there being cheap circuitry in them compared to a branded charger such as anker
Saw you at the installershow yesterday but didn’t have the bottle to come and say hello😂 didn’t realise you were so tall haha Keep up the great work⚡️👍
Next time mate, and yeah everyone says that
Be interesting to see your price per point v the price for that job if you priced it the labour & materials method see what the difference would have been if any … I always do materials & labour method bit takes along time yet to crack the code of per point to speed it up always comes out miles off for me
The sparky we have charged about the same as you, if someone's spending £25,000 they have far to much money.
Defo a video on pricing please🙏
up to date pricing video? yes please 🙂
Love these guys 🙂🇮🇪☘️
all thats silicone to hold up light fittings don't come cheap that's why your not as dear as artisan plus he has to make up for his shoddy solar PV installs
Who needs a ladder when nic's around 😂
Love the Artisan banter
That thumbnail made my day!!! Lol
As a consumer I wouldn't pay more than 10k for a rewire and certicate.for a 3-4 bedroom house.
I see Jordan is now using more and more Fusebox boards instead of Hager,
8:15 broom in shot!😮 notice no video of the electrain using it.
The ceiling in the kitchen, was that artex tested for asbestos?
House wiring is better quality and safer than it used to be. But it's got to an ever increasing point of being far too expensive, it doesn't have to be Rolls Royce to be safe and to code.
And also in Dublin we are around €120 per point, which sounds a lot but all RCBO circuits SFP and LSFH cables, earth rods and Certs for every job
Would €120 per point include a board?
Good luck charging €120 in a recession 😊
@@imconfused1237it will need that to change things. Work in Ireland or effectively prohibitive for anyone on regular income now.
Artisans prices are insane. like double or triple the price of every other spark.
That’s where I left my vodka….😮
Haven’t been in Stafford for years. 😢
I have never come across a Philips light fitting of any type, that was well designed, made and easy too install.
They fail on all three points every time.
From my experience working at repairing audio / TVs and video recorders years ago for Dixons it's not only light fittings...
Do Philips make anything at all nowadays? I heard it was all bought in and stamped with their logos.
@@stevedenning5175 Doesn't surprise me, are currys and dixons still around?
@@AaaaandAction Most likely, their Hue range seems pretty exclusive though. Still buying Philips Fluorescent tubes here in NZ.
i got some philips outdoor pir wall lights, one the led just broke within a few years, and after emailing them and getting no reply for months, they asked for proof of purchase to verify it was within warranty, which i sent, and they said they couldn't open the file. So i sent again and they tried to claim it was out of warranty, despite it not being out when i originally mailed them about the issue.
Aand the other has cracked on the top, though it does get a lot of sun exposure. Still, pretty pricy for how long they have lasted. the previous lights that had been out there were there since the house was built, so probably over 20 years
Hi Nick, Did you put the Wago's into the backplate of the light, or did you put them into a MF box?
Yeah I'd be interested to hear a breakdown of that quote seems a fair price really to me but yeah I'd deffo watch that video and if you an updated price list one that would be good also
ACM in that artex looked at the age of that kitchen
thought the exact same thing
Beards looking good mate. When's the next video on that
Gonna do a 6 month one mate
I had a 20 panel, 6KW solar/battery system installed for less than half the Artisan starting price. Also a zappi charger all in again for less than half price. There are cowboys out there so cheap is not always best but super expensive is also bad news. Your £5000 I would expect Artisan to come in at £12,000, just a bit over double. £25K is beyond a joke. Really jaw dropping.
What's the day rate in the Midlands area nowadays?
I filed my Ameg to a 45 degree tooth kinda thing, found it a much better cut.
Good shout mate cheers 👍
Why are you adding a switch fused spur ? Instead of a 20 amp switch ?
The spur needs to be fused unless it is a radial?
@@Mike_5 No, it doesn't if it can't be overloaded.
If it's feeding a single socket, it's fused to 13amp.
@0:35 "We've just bought a brand new hole from the hole seller" -that's what I heard lol.
Love that thumbnail 🤣
Amazing price for job you do fair play
My eye keeps clocking the vodka in the kitchen haha
did ya test that artex for asbestos?
Out of interest what do you use to cut those holes in the floor in front of the sockets as they look like there’s a lip to put them back down or is it just a normal hole saw
Go back one video mate and I show it off on there mate 👍
@@NBundyElectrical cheers mate wish I’d known about that before this house as all upstairs is 8x4 foot chipboard sheets, may look to get one for future
It’s mint mate, big game changer for chipboard
Can't believe you still use earths sleaving! We stopped using bare earth cable 6 years ago, I still keep a bit in the van in case someone did not use it on an old job.
Where are you from tho? Wish we had sleeved earth's on twin and Earth in the UK 😂
Ours isn’t sleeved in the twin and earth because if you cut the cable you’ll hit the Earth cable first. In theory anyways
@@adammarshall3370 but the diameter of the earth is smaller than the live conductors
We had earth sleeved T&E 30 years ago, and it was shite! Awful to strip, and back in those days we used plastic clips on a daily basis, none of which fit correctly as the cable was fatter than standard T&E. More expensive to manufacture, and insulating the earth core has no value in a T&E. The bare core provides a higher chance of a fault condition occuring should a cable be pierced or damaged.
@GretatheEvilGremlin So basically what we are saying is T&E isn't great! I know in a lot of Europe they use a round cable instead of T&E. I used it in Ireland, and it's so nice to bend round corners and make your work look neater. Plus, nearly every gland is designed for round cable, not T&E!
Nice Artex ceiling
Not referring to you Nick ..but is the idea to earn a good living plus a healthy extra lump for comfort....or is it to shaft everyone in sight before it all goes tits up .. with some its clearly the latter 😮
Rather then shaft people - people should stick to your guns on price and it benefits all electricians - these sparks who are “ nice guys “ and doing it cos “ they love the trade “ are actually harming the industry I’m afraid. Ive not done a 4 year apprenticeship, spent thousands on silly regs , 2391 , PV and ev corses to charge a day rate I can earn in Tesco without the worry of all the responsibility a sparky carry’s ! No mate - charge proper readies and do a proper job , simple
😂😂 the thumbnail
Nice job guys obviously no materials from city’s there 😅💰
Look i know I'm really tight but the philips hue stuff seems way overpriced imho.
Can I just say that the bottle of vodka on the side at the job site is not the best advert I've ever seen from a tradesperson.
Lol it’s the customers 😂
People arguing with rewiring but forget that the job is stressful, difficult and must be done with great care (and a little bit of love) and usually is a permanent (10+ years) installation.
I’m arguing it’s to cheap - 7k job minimum there .
I agree it cannot be less than 5k . If your a concensous worker who pays great attention to floor boards, vacume all the wood chips out fro under floor pilot hole and screw boards down and the list goes on and on.
@@lansdorf How many days labour would you expect to spend on a job like that?
whats the mic your using mate ?
dji mics mate
Class thank you mate @@NBundyElectrical
Not sure if its just me but there is no sound
Pardon?
Ngl i actually unsubbed to Artisan a while back. Jordan was pushing subscribers to pay for "premium" content, when in fact his viewer base is mostly of electricians who may not have the expendable cash after charging 6k for a rewire instead of 50
NGL we don’t do rewires
@@artisanelectricsDo you do duvets 😂 (one for the older generation)
You really don’t have to pay though
@@artisanelectrics 🤣 why bite
@@artisanelectricsno need to reply salty
Part of me wishes I had the knowledge/experience to do this, and that same part of me also kinda wishes I did a carpentry apprenticeship which I feel would have the best job satisfaction being able to do a bit of everything being the jack of all trades. The other part of me is glad I didn't, I did a little bit of mixed domestic/industrial work for the first 18 months of my apprenticeship but then got shifted into mining/shaftsinking work, now I'm the guy that can walk in dick swinging on $85/hr just because I have experience on sandvik/atlas copco drill rigs, raisebores and winders. I've been flown into africa business class and back just to spend literally 8 minutes diagnosing a faulty raisebore lube pressure switch before. But I'd be absolutely fucked trying to coordinate a re-wire on a janky old house. I'm payed very well but I feel like a bit of a fraud because nowadays theres no way I could compete bidding on any domestic/commercial or industrial jobs except for niche faultfinding
You've done really well for yourself. How did some of your schoolmates get on?????
Nick, how much do you charge per point? I’m at £65 per point at the moment.
So for sockets it’s £65/point
For lighting
I do £65/switch then £65 pendant. Is this in your realm of pricing?
We are £70 per light and £80 per socket in buckinhamshire
What about earthing do you do £65 Gas and £65 Water pipe?
@@Mike_5 £150 minimum
60 a socket 50 a light in the north west 😢
@@StreamFeeds 👍🏻 never undersell yourself 👍🏻
We’ve been quoted 8.2k for a 2 bed bungalow with a garage… does that seem a bit steep?
In camberley (South East)
Depends on how many sockets and downlights your having but I would say that was excessive
That Artex looks ancient. Hope you got an Asbestos Survey done before drilling holes in it.
I was charged 4500 for a 3 bed rewire
that bottle of Smirnoff tho
Arh you don’t really need earth sleeving and capping anyway 😂
wtf is wrong with that lamp. IT doesn't have a cable sleeve to hide the cable and it doesn't have a cover for the mounting plate. What's with expensive stuff just being.... incomplete
What was the reason for rewire?
I would of karate kicked that old kitchen out the back door. Why you working round it?
Wow - very very low ceilings.
That £250 light should be £50.
Why ?
@@dannythegreat453 because is contains approximately £20 worth of components.
@@Chris-hy6jy if even that!
@@jonathaneastwood2927 true lol
Those joists are son thin and far apart. good job they sit on concrete.
£25,000 is what Jordan is getting off some old people with dementia 😂
Yeah remove that earth sleeving from the van incase it’s stollen and sold to DIYers in the pub 😂
Forget artisan... what's happened with the bought beard 🤔
That’s like 10k In Ireland wow haha
Should be no more than materials plus 16 hours labour, two evenings 6pm to 10pm after a full days work for two in a professional engineering day job was the norm for fully rewiring a three bed semi back in the 1980’s, that’s with loads of sockets, cable below the surface and fully tested, just needing a plasterer the next day. Any more and it’s really just subsidising a ‘megastar’ lavish lifestyle. 😀
16 hours labour 🤣
@@AGRElectrics That’s with one 10 minute tea and biscuits break per evening. No sds chisels or wall chasers in those days, just hard graft. All done to IEE regs. No bodges, 100% rewire, new board, switches, sockets, cooker point. Floorboards replaced and the place left clean with power restored for the occupants after work every night.
@@MartinE63’s all about the fancy £300 tool bags, expensive snickers trolleys, Moncler T Shirts, MFTs that look like hand held games consoles and foil wrapped vans with the youngsters now. Those overheads are what’s driving up costs and then they whinge at old dinosaurs like me charging £180 a day with my ‘07 rust bucket and decades old tools. I’m unsure how paying £30k against say £6k would make the work more compliant with BS7671. ??? At that price I’d be rewiring the gaff in MICC.
Oh 100% mate. These youngsters don’t know what real graft is. They reckon they’re “knackered” after pulling a few circuits 😂 I just laugh at their lazy weakness. 2 man gang, I used to knock 3-beds semis out for fun, as you said - easy dough in the evening or a couple of Sundays.
These young clowns tryna make out they’re rewiring the starship enterprise 😆 Last year one of my clients said he got quoted £14k + VAT by one of these jokers: tattoos, floppy hair, flashy gear. After I told him it was a £3k job max, he rightly got told to jog on.
@@imconfused1237 no offense your chatting 💩 used to work for house bashing firm 3 men house a day 1st and 2nd. Was 3-4k about 10-15 years ago. Gear for a 3 bed is around 1-2k depending on finish. Living in a dream land 😂😂😀
can't get my head round artisan prices how does he get work at that price i'd only work 2 days a week lol
that is Cambridge
Based in Cambridge so figured we'd get Artisan quote for a job along with 3 others. Artisan quoted the same as the other 3 combined, wasn't even close. Apparently other people in Cambridge don't get alternative quotes?
@@RogerGarner Some rich people don't bother, they go for posh firms. Though I did not understand when they worked for a pensioner why she did not get a quote from others. Probably she was not experienced. Those are the 2 major groups to exploit...
Doesn't always mean you are getting a better job because its twice the price or more
@@jonathanstephens7804 Absolutely!
I advise any youngsters not to take up this trade if you like money, the trade has no vanity value, no customer will invite friends around to see your sockets, customers are always happy to pay for kitchens and bathrooms and garden sheds.the electrical part of those jobs aren't even considered apart from down lights.
Its more lucrative been a trade that has something to show, I do know what I'm talking about after 47 years in the business.
Spot on - I've done 30 years in the trade but thankfully the last 11 years have been in commercial only. The advice I gave to my children is - don't do domestic electrics ever. The prices are set by cowboys working for beer money, it's hard physical dirty graft and the pay is poor.
Lived in rewires used to be what electricians did when they was no other work available as they are hard work constantly and filthy horrible jobs.
Price accordingly unless there’s another 30 sparks pricing for the job and you’re desperate then the cheapest will come in under 2 k ha ha
A rewire should be between £4000-7000 MAX
That guy from the other videos charged like £25,000/30,000 he's a total RIP OFF imo.
😳Nice & expensive lights - professionally fitted. But .... into a shit & swirly artex finished ceiling 🤣
25k for a rewire ! Give me a break ! Guess that's how you buy a 100 grand work van !
Lived in rewires are one short of the bottom of the pile as far as work goes. Working for slum landlords being the worst.
Best paid though ! Who cares about prestige when you can whack a 25k price in for a 7 day job
Sounds cheap, I paid way over that for similar 4 years agi
25k for a rewire 😂😂😂😂
Nick the bullie lol 😁
How tall are you or is that a dolls house?
I’m 6,3 mate
What happened to your beard, did the cat lick your face?
Na the dog
5000 wow its expensive now to re-wire your house
Thats actually cheap soo...
Well it was £3000 in the late 90s when it was 1 light in each room and 3 sockets.... Now it's 50 downlights and 5 sockets in each room and data and cameras etc
Very cheap for something that will be there 25+ years
