I always love the "there's no half days in this game" shite. I assume none of you have repeat customers, as imagine charging £300 to skim 2 ceilings. Then they ask for a quote a month later for the last bedroom ceiling, yeah no worries it's £300. Sorry, what?!

£300 mats...what do you charge for the labour?
 
So today’s job- repair some old light holes in ceiling, reskim whole lid, customer WANTED flooring protection as well as sheets so that was added to quote. Find out he quibbled my price with the decorator who was working upstairs saying he thought it was steep...... he was paying for what he asked for!!! Wouldn’t mind but he certainly wasn’t short. End of the day comes and he was too busy to come back with my dough..... got to go back now!! Think some people have control issues

The decorator is a mate who in true form cane down and told me straight away. It’s plain to see why some people have money
 
All this talk of how much to charge for jobs small and big is stupid. As self employed workers we work in a free market . you are are free the charge as much as you like and the customer is free to except it or not . :sisi:
