What hourly rate on the books is considered deceng these days ??

Whatever it is you 'need' to have and to provide a decent life bud surely. What did you charge self employed?

16ish I would say
Are they supplying a van etc

 

[Welder]

At 37.5 hours a week, that's just £8.20 per hour
A flippin cleaner gets more than that!

Anyone even considering that as a trained engineer should reassess their future in the game IMHO. To bring up a family you will need at least £30-35k.
