how much should this job cost

[David Goss]

Looks like a £100 to £150 job going by the photos. Anyone doing it for less is only ripping themselves off and making our job even more difficult to make any money on. Overheads are silly nowadays and hiring a highly trained professional costs money anyway. You try getting a job done by a plumber or plasterer or electrician etc and see how much they charge, and thats without risking their lives every day. Some of them wont even come to your house without charging £50 call out first. Bob you need to give your pricing a boot in the backside.

Its all about speed and efficiency

1 hr on site plus 30 mins as an average travel so thats £50 an hour which is more than my hourly rate:thumbup:

About right. 8 hours x 2 men = £400. I'd guess that's what a lot of people aim for. Plus you get the £150 on the way home for the Euc branch :-)
