Coming to this late but

 

"260 working days in a year"??  Je ne comprends pas.

5 days a week

4 weeks a month

12 months or 5x4x12=240  (but I did fail my maths O level first time around,,, )

 

Otherwise I agree with what you are saying.  Looks like a days work and £750 for a 3 man crew seems reasonable particularly if you are not having to take the timber away.  

Confess I do struggle with pricing, though.

At risk of going off topic - a mate’s dad when I was growing up was a joiner doing bespoke windows, staircases etc. He had a saying about “it’s worse than being in prison” for anywhere he went that the people didn’t offer him a drink - the implication being than even in clink you get a cuppa. If no drinks on the first day he used to take a flask and stick some extra on the bill!!

Work 52 weeks a year do you (not) 52 weekends in a year plus holidays time off not working. 260 self employed working days

I refer to almost all houses in the UK as rabbit hutches. 
 
On a serious note, the houses are patently architecturally awful. The only redeeming feature of that I can see is the oak tree in the front garden. The house was purchased with the tree already standing in the garden - why buy the house if the intention is to fell the tree?
 
Does my head in. Developers pack shitty little houses onto postage stamp sized plots, leave the odd token tree than invariably ends up getting felled when someone buys a house and doesn't like the tree. 

I hate this argument. It is so difficult to find the perfect house when searching and always end up compromising. This house could have been ideal in every way ( right location, school, on suite bedroom etc) for the purchaser, bar the tree. So its a no brainer, buy the house and fell the tree, exactly what I'd do.

Job looks £500-800 to me. Easy day for 2 unless I'm missing something.
