Never seen a patch done like this before

To me lodan a patch is a patch.it wud be same as putting a wall on or a little bathroom..same amount of time..how much wud u charge for skimming a say 3m2 bathroom ceiling? Id charge £150 same as a hole in the ceiling as it wud take me the same time to do

Dont get me wrong mate, not saying you wouldnt quote it im sure you would but I know you dont do that sort of stuff so probably never do....a single hole like plastemans photo id probably chare about £70 and do it on the way home, also would only bother if it was on my doorstep....as for leeds being the new london we'll see:birra:

You've got to remember lodan if someones calling your for a tiny patch its because they don't have the skills/tools/knowledge how to do it themselves. If you tell them you want £100+ to spend an hour or two of your time putting it right its their choice to accept the price. Its not exactly life changing money so alot of people would rightly rather pay someone that knows what they're doing to sort it.

Always on the ribenas mate but just being realistic, I know your willy waving but ive never met a person where I live who would pay £150 to patch a small hole, like I said they would laugh you out the door and leeds area is poorer than where I live

Never tell a customer what I want but when you quote £350 for a 2 day job you see them screwing their face up
 
@Lodan. As you get more word of mouth recommendations you'll get less of the shocked looks when you give a price because the customers will have given some idea of what they paid for your work. That's the downside of mybuilder type jobsites. Once your rep is up on the word of mouth circuit, you start uping your prices.

Y do u think ur area is better Than mine then? Loads of big houses round our way literally 10 min drive from me..@owls will back me up on this..scarcroft,adel,thorner,Scholes roundhay I live 5-10mins from all these places and there milionaire towns..gabby Logan lives a 2min drive from mine
 
Wasnt saying my area is better than yours mate thats not the way I meant it, when national stats and stuff comes out on things like disposal income and house prices etc the further your going up the lower they become....all I meant was less disposal income etc the more squeeze on prices (everywhere has bad and nice areas so you must live in the nice area), I never been to Leeds probably a lovely place.....apart from the football team and fans:)

I'm also a bit star struck that you live so close to gabby logan....not sure who she is though....is she the one who comments on the athletics?

If you don't ask you don't get. I love seeing people's face drop when I gave a price. I don't care what they think. I have a small patching job to do beside my house 150 for it. When I give the price he said how long will it take u to do it. All I said is are you in a hurry. He said no I said no problem let me know if you want me to do it. He phoned me that evening to say he wanted me to do it. I was supposed to do it last week lol
