As to how you charge for your labour then that's entirely upto you.
How much do you need to earn a day ?
Some price up by the sqm if it's a big job, some, like most maybe look at a job and work out a price for what evers involved.
There is no set way of pricing up a job as their all different. | I concur! |

| Re: payment charging | | do you think £150 a day is too much for labour only, then materials and travel on top of that, i was trying a bit cheaper but folk just turned their nose up. I dont seem to be able to find a happy medium

| Re: payment charging | | I usually factor in the travel time in the rate. For me. anything local i.e 30 miles is absorbed as a cost really. Over that I personally would increase my day rate to compensate but to price separately for travel is your decision.
As for the rates you charge, that will depend entirely on what you need to live on, the competition in your area and the reputation you have. If your work comes via referral then you are more valuable than if you have to chase it. |

| Re: payment charging | | Round your area Feks you have sooooo many more people on your doorstep so to speak. Up here you can travel for miles just to measure and price a job - see my post about "rush hour traffic" to see what I mean. |
