What do you do If Someone wants a wall skimmed about 5 m?

Day rate or a decent hourly

well i would give a price working it out by charging by the hour,one batch would take at least 3hours, round it up to 4 to allow for setup/ and tidy up plus add the cost of materials and fuel into the price.

Soon as i step on a job its a days money

£9.50 a m2 is about right for a one off job i.e a 12 m2 ceiling skim only = £120 ish.
But for 150 m2 or max 3 days work (more likely 2 days) cus you say lots of corners and beading etc at £10. m2 x 150 m2 = £1500 this is TOO MUCH !!!!
M2 rate has to be dependant of run of meters and length/ height of runs.

Tell him its a £500 job take it or leave it.
