It’ll be the first time in years most domestic customers will understand an increase,still some out there that think if you give a price for X it should stay that for 15 years lol.

Back to the main subject.
A reality check: inflation is now over 5%.
Heading towards 7%

If you don’t raise price you are taking a big wage cut.
Eg : your £15 house now should be now minimum
£16
£100 commercial job now £105

T

i dont even notice really.......all these people that are worrying over an extra few quid here and there must be really living hand to mouth on fixed low incomes
price higher/work harder!

That’s some statement! How do you come to the conclusion that people must be living hand to mouth if they want to increase their prices Daz?

You live on your own in a flat Daz, so your living costs are a lot lower than the average family man.

Yep they are...I also do very little mileage as all my work is close by....I might be looking at an extra grand or two  a year with higher inflation,gas/electric,fuel,NI,etc.....I normally earn an extra 3k year on year anyway(I have done for the last 10 years anyway)...I earn 30k more a year at present than I did 10 years ago....

No I don't mean window cleaners....just a lot of people moaning on the radio and news channels about rising inflation....put your prices up if you feel the need....I'm not...I'll take the hit this year....

Yes they are , my daughter is one of them , she has three children , and is really struggling . I have to help her out almost every month.
Its really tough for some families ,  having said that almost all my customers are fiancially stable , and are at the easier stage in life.
These are the customer profile I want.

This is the best time to raise prices.  Customers will expect it.  Everything else has gone up, our costs have gone up, that needs to be passed on.  Not a single customer questioned it.
