Minimum price

I'm a bit stuck on how much to quote for a really small job.

To take 5ft off a 20ft conifer. + thin out the bottom.

I'm thinking about £60. Is this too much? Or to cheap. I guess I'll be there 1hr, 2hr out of the house but potentially cost me £15 to dispose

Quote it at 25% of your daily production target.Or tell them it will cost less if they can wait untill you have another job in the area.

Bacon sandwich n a cup of tea should cover it.

Sounds ok but the 15 quid to dispose of it not appealing

without being rude there seams to be a lot of what would you charge type threads atm..........do the maths and charge what you need to and what other people think shouldnt come into it.

That sounds a good approach.

Hi there if I was pricing for one of my jobs it would be 80 quid as don't like going out for less as y still have to drive there and by the time y have finished cleaned up it always takes much longer then y think

 

I did do a job right on my doorstep at the weekend that was to cut up a windblown branch . I did this for 60 but it did not involve any climbing and was I minut up my road , but for everything have a min call out for the smaller jobs of 80 quid a pop .

 

Hope this helps littletree:thumbup:
