Pricing work away

[specs]

what part of London is it, I only ask as you might well need to add additional money for parking, for instance, I did a small job in Chelsea a while back and it was £6.00 per hour, in hampstead (if you can find a meter ) its £6.00 for 4 hours and of course if its central London you get the congestion charge, also allow for the odd parking ticket £80.00 a pop (40.00 if paid within 14 days ) last week I got 2, 1 for not parking entirely within the bay ( my rear tyre was outside of the markings) and the 2nd was because I was 5mins overdue. The parking gestapo are absolutely lethal here. Having said all that you may well be in a nice leafy suburb.

I'd say a ballpark figure of £1600 for what you've described, could be a little more or a little less. If they pass out, then you know that they're not serious.

Her next door neighbour or a friend might then want to use your services, word of mouth and all that.
Start as you mean to go on, with well worthwhile prices, in your favour.

There are a few sparks on here (including me) who are not so confident at pricing...is anyone posting replies really good at it? Thought about lending your amazing services??

i struggle with it because i dont want to rip anyone off but then i dont want to work my fingers to the bone for next to nothing lol. My old boss said you will underprice a few then notice your errors and soon learn to increase to a happy medium lol
