I usually quote £16 per hour for fencing, decking and paths/patios.
A time-served joiner would probably want a bit more than that.
Do you really need a proper joiner for the work you require ?
Are you really saying a self employed joiner having to pay for a van etc will only take in £33k a year before tax and costs for 40 hrs worked every week for 52 weeks.A time-served joiner would probably want a bit more than that.

The 'standard' rate is more like £250 a day.

£15-20 per hour is about the norm. When I first went self employed in 1999 I done a bit of work for a few builders and charged £10 per hour, so the rate hasn't increased a great deal in that time.
It all crashed and rates wend south just after the crash in 2008, it has taken till now for pre 2008 rates to get back to what they were back then.trickywoo said:

So you saying they are on 65k a year ? The 'standard' rate is more like £250 a day.
Dont think so. Not on day rate fitting decking.
250 per day, also bear in mind 250 is not our wage, it's for a service for labour and knowledge, we have business costs (insurance etc), vans to run, maintain and insure, wear and tear of tools, PPE, time and cost of going to look at jobs, time for pricing jobs, writing invoices, sourceing materials, and the list goes on.. So when a tradesman quotes 250 per day don't assume he's paying himself 65k a year.. If only it was that easy.. 😀
