Prices

[White Room]

Believe me mate many a time customer's have said any idea of the price (That's on the phone as well) we won't hold you to it, they do.

Alot of these customers we have are only earning £50-£60 a day and don't realise were not willing to work for this,they also have no idea how much work is involved.

I'm constantly surprized by some people who I think are going to bawk at my price but say its fine and the ones who look like they've got plenty of money and think I'm having a laugh.
You only have to watch Property Ladder to see alot of Joe Public think they can get a house completely remodeled for £15000 and in 2 months when Sarah Beeny says it'll take double the budget and timescale,you all know what the outcome is.

How many times have people asked if you can start tomorrow,they have no clue!

As you get more experienced you will have a better idea of how long certain jobs are likely to take you. Small awkward jobs can be very time consuming. If this is the case then I will quote the job for my time ie, daily rate. I would only revert to quoting meterage rates for large areas ie, showroom floors, swimming pools, shopping malls (contract work). Hope this helps!
