I’d say £15 should be the lower end but you try getting more. I knows guys on that rate on the books.

I think £15/hr is the bare minimum someone should expect to pay for self employed labour and at that rate they wouldn't even have qualifications to push a brush never mind be left alone with a pitch fork.

What sort of money would you pay someone on the fencing job, just out of interest?

Occasionally I pay someone, with no fencing skill but very good at fetching and carrying, £12/hr which is £2 more then he charges me but I refuse to pay him £10. He should charge more but I'm not in charge of his business, that's his department, so he shouldn't expect me to increase his hourly rate by 50% to £15/hr just because I believe that is the minimum he should charge at todays cost of living.
On the other hand I know very skilled fencers charging £200/day and getting all the work they want with just a hammer and a tool belt.

There are self employed people out there with guaranteed work ( I know this shouldn’t be the case but putting that aside ) on £18.50/£20 an hour. That just means turning up no tools as well.
I agree £15 is the bare minimum anyone self employed should be charging. I know people who are hard workers but maybe not skilled as such charging less.

Wife cleans a bit, she's on £13/hr at one place, just turn up. Think the going rate seems to be £16-20 for folk with a 'proper' cleaning round. I think I'd struggle to earn that some days by the time everything is paid for. Now where's my marigolds....
