    Hey quick question for sparkies on here (in Australia). I wanted to know how much you would charge for 10 hours of work.

    Included wiring the main board, light points etc.. None of the cbus wiring just the 240 volt wiring which I wanted to be done by a proper tradesman.

    One of my mates (who is a sparky) did it for me but I think he is charging me too little.

    Well a mate of mine charged me $50 and hour for similar.. Only difference was I gave him a hand, thus reducing the time..

    I felt that was pretty fair, without looking like a total tightass.. Gotta respect the time that someone has taken to learn a skilled trade, and not expect them to just give away their time.. Especially after hours work..

    Since then he has come back and done a few little odd jobs for nothing..
