Day rate is £250 for plumbing, £350 for gas.. I’ll just have to put this one down to experience and move on!! If I can...😱

Anything like you've just done with both bits (plumbing and gas ) half / middle your charges

So your day rate for a job like you've just done £300 etc

I think I’ll just have to say it took longer than expected and charge £300 a day, don’t want to completely lose out here!!
 
Did you quote for wiring it up ?
Lol no.. I just thought that’s a part of it all. I just looked at my original quote and I said I based my quote on 6 days work which may extend and materials may also increase so that’s good!! Thank %#^* I said that!! Phew how I thought I’d get that done in 6 days is beyond me!!!
 
Would add a bit on that to even it out etc

Could loose £600 on electrics

And pays to have a good set of t and c

Also your lab would of been right if it was 6 days just over 300 a day
 
To be honest mate. I know blokes that would charge 2.5k and 4.5k. I like to do a good job at a fair price. Bound to get more work out of it if you stay reasonable.
Yeah I guess.. don’t wanna undersell myself though.. there’s reasonable and then there’s cheap! I’d rather be slightly expensive than slightly cheap, people’s perception of cheap isn’t positive!
