Price check please

Not sure liking that post was the right thing to have done Doug ,from my part because i do like to hear that other guys -on this forum get the jobs because we are all doing this for a living, and that is very important to all of our family s, i don't even price the work my mrs DPF does and sometimes like you Doug we don't get the job, so it is a very important part of being self-employed we have to base our prices on some sort of reality, and national rates are a good place to start ,then if you are in a wealthy area /or poor area you can go either way from there up /down , good luck with the next jobs mate 🙂

I'am sure there is such a thing as a going rate but there are so many variables as Doug pointed - distance for one!
If you work for someone you get the going rate and that's what I get from the honorary member from Reigate. But when I'am local my own work is significantly more rewarding.
Even this thread is different as work has already been done for the customer and so a stronger position should be held.
So when pricing I always think how long it will take and translate that into a meterage rate - its what it's worth to me not what someone else wants for doing it!
