Around 10hrs labour 1sparks and lad.
Ive priced it, but his response "wasn't too positive"
Will divulge once I get some feedback.

Cheers

Obviously area will play a massive part with regard the labour rates , up the north or down the south / london etc
But I would likely be suggesting very little change from £2000 all in

£3k at the bare minimum for a regular customer.

Appreciate the response, I quoted it at £1,750 his reaction was why is it so fking expensive, so I revised it and said £1,450 he wasn’t too chuffed, shall we say.

I wouldn't do it for 1400 quid unless you are absolutely desperate for the job and use the cheapest crap materials you can find

I would say the £1750 is a very fair price , I reckon near £2000 for most parts of the country and ramp that up between £2500-£3000 for the SE & London

You should have stuck at £1750, dropping to £1450 suggests to the customer you were overpricing.
If the customer comes back to you and agrees to the £1450, if I were you I'd say no, and say no to the job altogether.
I suspect either you won't get paid anyway or you'll struggle to get all of your money from them.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I agree with Snowhead , NEVER adjust your price down 'Unless' the job becomes smaller.

Price it , submit your price and that's it , stick to your guns always

Well, perhaps that's why he still is sitting in the dark! (I seen the pics lol) I only reduced it as I know him and was trying to be fair to him, but he still loaned so I though Fk it, we are busy as it is.

I honestly thought my original £1,750 was a good price, its not cheap crap we use as we, like many, have standards.
Tnx for the responses.

1750 was a good price. I wouldn’t do it for 1450. I tend not to negotiate, I value my time too highly.

OP should have started at £2000 , then dropped to 1750£ when pressed
