I thought so mate.hear some prices on here and think how do people charge that much.suppose it depends where you live though.
 
Mike f**k em dont worry about it,that's more than fair with sounds of it you've given her a 50% discount as it is..she prob thought u was guna do it for £100 and a loaf of bread,your practically doing a full refurb and will add on £30k to her house price,dont feel guilty at all,she wont when she sells the f**k*r

So skimming a three bedder adds 30 grand to a house
 
Sounds about right mate . Hate when it mates and relatives expect a discount . My sister in law works in Asda but I still pay full price for my shopping . And what can these so called relatives do for us do deserve a discount .
I'm doing a favour job 2mz,bathroom for £100 as shes been asking me since jan..that includes materials aswell so that's 2 bags of multi I could get £100 for:crying:
 
I haven't actually mate but I've asked a multiple time is this all its going to cost me the contribution of 300 quid
I got council to do £30ks worth of work to 1 of my let's I had to pay them £3700 12 months after job was finished,I got work done..small print said I cant sell house 4 5 years or I have to either pay a %of the profit of house sold or give them £30k back lol
 
Mike that price is more than reasonable fella if she wants cheap rates tell her to find somebody that does cheap quality plastering

How many days you allow for it, about 5 or 6? £350-£400 a day for a mate sounds a decent earner up north ha
