£35 a bay short by the sounds of it, Derbyshire.

I'm in Sussex so £35 less for Derbyshire might well be about the going rate.

 

I've no idea what the going rate here is though, it's just a guess. The going rate was £150 pre covid and even then that wasn't enough.

Don't know why people are doing it by the bay rather than the meter or per job?

Because that’s how close boarded with gravel boards and concrete posts is worked out.

If it’s arris rail and post then work out per meter as the centres vary from 1.8, 2.4 and 3m

Never priced it like that ,surely he'd ge better off on a fencing forum! Been a while since I've done fencing ...but I don't want to be known for fencing and domestic hedge work!

Perhaps because the customer can understand it that way? Just priced it for exceedingly roughly for materials on the internet, and it was likely to be around £75 per bay, at least. If you said £100 materials, and £ 100 labour per bay, I'd say it's in the ball park for round here. East Yorkshire.

Correct, the customer asked for a price per bay, that's what they got. All the waste off the job will be burnt. For a rough work out your figures aren't far out.

Look fella, I wouldn't take any job if i wasn't earning well from it. We can be in and out of here in 2 good days, (infact if we aren't I'm on my own on day 3, the lad who helps me occasionally can only spare me two days), with a good profit.

I know people do it all the time  but isn't it  illegal to burn treated timber on a bonfire?

I believe so ,hence why I said about tip/waste charges...I don't think we've burnt it got that reason.
