You can never have enough work,

 we still have about 300 domestic jobs in fact a 4 bed detatched house we have been charging £7.00 for the last 10 years called to cancel because we put them up to £8.50, do i really need them at my door for that price, hence why i want to attract bigger fish to replace these types.

The biggest puller is reccommendations especially in commmercial, domestics have more or less dried up, also I am finding some of my commercial have more than one building and i am getting the option to quote them.

Apart from that I am an household name so everyone just naturally comes to me.   

Joke by the way

that would cost about £15.00 on my books , I would of thought you would have charge more.

We normally do, but we inherited an estate about 10 years ago, the prices were £4.50 at the time, we have inched them up over the years and we can just about do over £20.00 an hour on them,  so we have just always treated them as gap fillers, a "B" List if you like.

We knew exactly what would happen if we put them up, Also they help to fill the hours when we take on a new member of staff.

I know I shouldnt but..............

If we took them on now we would say about £12.00 and would get it.

A lot of pricing is what the customers are used to paying in an area, my wife says every month to get rid, perhaps she is right.

I bought a round not long ago that was 20 plus years old, i don't think he ever put the prices up  :
I just couldn't work it for the money so i put the prices up and what i lost i got back from the bloke i bought it from.
As it was a family member i bought it from,he new i wouldn't  have it and agreed.

So if they dumped you could they replace you at the same price or would they just go with out ?
