Depends on the job mate. I personally prefer to give a price or some customers (domestic work) like to clock watch

You'll get around £4m2 on site for skimming down there, if you can put 5 bags on a day that equates to £200 a day and your lining not one bosses pocket but a good few above him, have a think about that and give your head a wobble.

£10 a wall and £20 for the ceiling mate! That's what someone like u deserves by the sound of it. I can only imagine the state of the quality of your work!!

If you're not trolling you are an absolute bellend. £130 after tax is just over £100...even if you're not paying tax it's still a shite wage for a self employed tradesman - sure you might pay the bills but f**k working for that. I work to pay the bills and have a good standard of living and put a fair bit aside for rainy days.
This must be the only trade where people call others too dear and are happy to earn a very average wage for a skilled trade what a mug.

You need to clear at least £200 after tax and expenses. Expenses being fuel, fry up, couple of pints for way home and copies of readers wives and 40+ for reading inbetween troweling up

Not every body wants "cheap" on domestics. I'm lucky as most of mine are for people who are loaded and want a proper job with no mess to tidy up afterwards. I charge what I like but never take the piss. Your only as good as your last job and if you get complacent?? You're f**k*d!!

You should charge what you think your worth while still competitive with other real spreads !
Undercutters and semi skilled that are not as good, going in way to low on prices drive prices down for tradesmen in some areas. and are a threat to the industries future, but those customers that want cheap deserve s**t work as in life you get what you pay for !
I did 2 ceilings this morning 3 hours work. And still earned more than you charge a a day ! They got 3 quotes 1 off a good spread I know the other off a guy that worked in Tescos for years till all of a sudden he appeared on the scene last year with a nice new sign written van and I know he don't know s**t about the game !

I want a call you a chancer c**t but if your a young lad with a fresh business then it's a way for him to get work in and get his name out which you can't knock him for.
It's called business and competition.
If that's not the case your definitely a chancer c**t!
Here's a comparison for you which anyone can understand....
Ronaldo..... do you think he'd join a club for £50k a week?
No....why.... because he knows hes good and knows his worth.
The same should appeal to anyone in any job.
Why settle for less if you know your worth more?
