Charging per hour?

I find the problem with emergency call out rates are that you are 1, punished for being good and efficient, 2 they often don't take that long (typically 1-2 hours).

 

Therefore if my hourly charge is £250ph for emergencies and I get a call at 2am, like hell am I going to the yard, getting loaded up, driving to the job, do it, drive back, unload and then drive home for 4am, knackered for the next day. 

I now have a minimum charge of £600 plus vat for the 1st hour, then £250 an hour for all subsequent hours. 

 

If im too expensive I really don't care, I'll stay in bed 

I think that's fair for emergency call outs.
