How much to quote

Its not the value that caused me and I would guess the others, who replied comments.. It's the thought that someone thinks its a days wage.

This is very true, if a customer questions why a price is higher than they expect I generally tell them the costs of insurance, fuel, stump grinder teeth replacement cost or whatever is relevant to the job. I know my weekly costs regardless if any jobs get done so it's factored in

The customer is not interested in where your money goes! They are only interested in what they are spending! If £300-£350 for half a days work is not enough then **** I need a new accountant and some tips off you lot on how to become a millionaire!!!

Works for me, if they think you're being greedy they'll look elsewhere.

Based on the £300 job above... After all expenses, I would be left with £120 ... That's not a sufficient amount for a days graft. For a team of two for a day with a truck & chipper we won't go for any less than £550.

Yes, very true. Typically I would have a team of 3 on that job, price it at 300-350 and do 3 of them in a day (minimum).

I got it mate, wasn't the point I was getting at though.

 

It's a fair price for the work, providing you're reasonably productive and can do a couple of jobs like that a day.

Plus it's half a days work. IMO good money for half a day.
