Do you always list the price of materials in your quotes. What had is got to do with the customer how much you pay for stuff? .

Not unless requested. It has alot to do with them as they’re paying for it
lurpak
Artex Boy
Cool. I do
Labour: £x
Materials: £x
Small jobs i do all in price. Bigger ones labour/materials

When you pay for something from a shop do you ask them to break it down into costs ?

Don’t think theres a right or wrong pal. Did a quote yesterday:
I’m not gonna waste my time calculating all the materials costs until I’ve got the job. It would take me about an hour to go around calculating it all.
How much time have you wasted doing that on jobs you never got?

No as they’d jUst point at the recepit and id look like a mong

It shouldn't make any difference to quote at the end of the day as I presume you choose to grit to save on labour

Down side to this method is when I go to do job I.ve forgot price. .
But don't worry as customer will always ask what price was again. So if job was prob 500 ish . You say 900 to which customer will say but you said 500 . Then you just laugh and say orrrrr so you do remember

Same. What do you do on big job?

im sure thats the retail price if you went to the counter and asked the price it would be considerably cheaper.
