What goes into a price
- Labour: how long the job really takes you — add extra while you are new.
- Travel and parking.
- Parts: cost plus a fair markup for your time sourcing them.
- Overheads: tools, van, insurance, phone.
- Risk: old or seized fittings can take longer.
Fixed price vs hourly
Customers like fixed prices: they know what they will pay. Fixed pricing also rewards you for getting faster. Use hourly for unknown problems like leak hunting, and say so clearly.
Writing a clear quote
- Your name and contact details.
- What you will do, in plain words.
- What is included and not included.
- Price and how to pay.
- Any guarantee.

Don't undercharge
Very cheap prices attract difficult customers and make it hard to grow. Be fair, explain your price, and do great work.
