I know it depends on a few different things but just for a rough idea how much would you guys/girls charge for 1 lounge carpet and 4 bedrooms carpets?

3 of the rooms are average house size rooms and 2 are small bedrooms.

Just going to price the job tomorrow morning ?

Thanks Ralph

£150 as a rough guess, £30 per room.
Looking at 3 hours work for 1 man.

35p sq foot or even seven bob in old money 

[Fintan_Coll]

That's almost three half crowns Tony.

£140.00

[derek west]

same as mark, maybe slightly quicker though, depends on the draft marks if any.

140-160.......

Try £95 that'll get you it.
People are tightening their belts.
£150 and they'd laugh you out the door here.
Be the "busy fool" the money comes rolling in.
Not like the quiet fools sat at home all day.

Presuming you're doing all of the carpet in the bedrooms, and presuming room sizes typical for a 4-bed detached house of:

lounge 220 ft
bed 110ft
bed 100
bed 80
bed 70

(total 580 ft)

Approx £175

What about the stairs and landing?!  Gonna float over them on the way to the bedrooms?

Still presuming we're talking about a decent 4-bed detached, it's probably a C-shaped landing of at least another 80 ft and a set of stairs with a half-landing...

230 quid all in, one day, one job, simple.  Home in time for Countdown.  Shame Vorderman's getting a bit wrinkly now

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

i have but im doing it steady, have just up my suites as i can live without them

dont want to have to start marketing for work its a pain much rather inch up prices and take it from there

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Ralph Jims works out at 30p sq foot my suggestion is 35p as i charge. Only you can decide but PLEASE don't work for some of the silly LOW prices that are quoted £90 less running cost which are not small over a year make these sort of prices a nonsense you might aswell go and stack shelves at Tesco's Not that there is anything wrong with that

Your posts have ALWAYS been very refreshing and honest. Good to see you have followed your own instincts and raised prices gently.

As you'll notice, there are a fair number of new posters with greatly differing attitudes. What's interesting, is that a number of " more established " c/c's have been posting some excellent stuff without making daft claims.
