Alternatively, consider charging by the day. It's unconventional, but it makes sense for a number of reasons.

in the UK contractors / consultants / freelancers do charge daily and i definitely prefer it over hourly rates or fixed per project prices

I've been checking UK ads looking for contractors, and I was wondering: How do you take into account long (8h+) vs short(4h+) days?

it's an assumed 8 hour day... if they notice you're only working 4 hours they'd expect you to bill half a day
