is this an add on to a bathroom you have tiled or a single job to drill holes for a customer only? if it was me and i had just done there bathroom i might drill them free of charge ,these things stick in the customers mind if its a job only to go and dril holes id charge 50 pounds

We charge £200 a day + VAT (Congestion charge @ £10 a day + VAT London) and then £3 a hole. We get about 2 jobs a month from the London area but more holes usually about 30 holes per job.

[david campbell]

are you using water with them to keep them cool?

For the London jobs its a lot of commercial work (Banks, Hotels, Shop Fitting) for example we spend three days on site at a London Bank to drill holes in corridor tiles so that ADT could lock down their glass doors with a quick release magnetic bolt in case of fire.

A lot of fiddly work but it was £600 for that job and the actual number of holes drilled was 5 pairs.

We do some domestic work (maybe about 14 houses a year) but they often want to negotiate cash prices and dont like paying the £200.

I'd price it per hour, + expenses + cost 6mm drill from 365 drills - 'cause they are the best you can buy.
