Is my quote too pricey?

[WarwickApp]

Hi folks. Quoted a little job yesterday and customer wasn't happy with quote so just want to see what you all think, I'd hate to think I'm becoming over priced so need some honest opinions on this quote.

In the customers utility she has one surface mounted single socket. She wanted that changing to a double. She wanted a new double socket adding further down the utility which I planned to extend the ring for. Then she wanted an outside light spurred off the ring which I obviously would need to add a fcu as a minimum but would've probably put a switch in too. All the above would've been surface mounted in yt2.

The customer was providing the outside light, I was providing everything else.

I quoted £150 for materials and labour and the customer said she was expecting more around the £100 mark. What do you all think? Really keen for some opinions on this whether they're for or against my quote. Cheers

These would be the same folk with the nearly-new SUV paying the garage £100 an hour for servicing without thinking about it, by any chance?

Exactly , or £95 for 1 hr of personal fitness training

The same people who pay £80 to get their dogs groomed, every month, or £100 for a haircut as mentioned above. In my previous life, these types were always a pain, and the time and cost of sorting disputes far outweighed any profit. Until they actually pay, the client is the enemy...

We have to remember that dog grooming and hair dressing are vital services which command a top end premium rate

Throwing a bit of wire at a wall is just childs play which any mug can do

So true, @Dustydazzler
Priorities are skewed these days...
