Daywork rate

[mikethetile]

this is so true, but you will struggle to get £100 a day in london at the moment

supply of tradesmen has exceeded demand, someone on the dole will happily fit a bog seat for the price of a pint or two

high end is a different story and theres a shortage of tradesmen able to supply the level of service and standard required by high end clients

so its horses for courses and charge according to where you sit in the market

cheap as chips or high end

 

[david campbell]

seems fine,as long as you can cover that on a price

 

[murf]

Phil, you got the job on reccomendation from your neighbour,who has obviously told the new client how much you charged him. He will be expecting to pay at least the same, if not more, so you should price accordingly. High quality must be paid for.

 

[Gazzer]

Phil, have you dropped your standards ?? No !! Dont drop your prices. You are worth every penny.

 

[TT Tiling]

stay at your rate mate ,my day rate is £200 a day or like you said on a ms2 price your make more

 

[Ken Bruty]

£180/ day sounds very reasonable to me for your professional skills

 

[albyshellshear]

I agree with all who said stick to the £180 you charged the neighbour he will have asked what you charged him so he will probably have that price in his head.

 

[EH TILING]

Id stick to what you charged the neighbour,they must have talked about prices and they obviously like your work and they came looking for you after all.

 

[Bolter]

A man of your calibre Phil, should charge more IMO.

 

[doug boardley]

if that is what you'll be happy with Phil, stick to it, I'd certainly be happy to pay over that for a man of your calibre

Price is ok to me Phil.. I work around the same or above.

Any less and it isn't worth getting out of bed..

As for a 100 quid a day..above..:yikes:.. NO chance here..

Thanks Dave and all you guys/gals for your imput, I do usualy go for the £200 mark. I do prefare to work on price, then I am in control of my earnings. This customer wants a daywork rate, so thank you all for your comments. Again I must say how this forum and it's members are top notch

 

[DHTiling]

Let us know how it turns out Phil please.

£200 a day around here is a no-no now. I'm struggling at £100 a day to get work.

Hi mate, where you from? are you a fixer? No way would I leave home for £100 per day, maybe 10yrs ago As has been said before, we need to value our skills more:smilewinkgrin:
