Sorry if this annoys anyone, but I did head the post accordingly!
I've decided to review my pricing structure, firstly to make it
easier to communicate to customers and secondly to increase my
margin. I'm constantly booked up for weeks ahead & the Fair Trader
thing is generating extra business - I also feel it adds value to my
services (I'm the only accredited handyman in the scheme).
If anyone would care to comment I'd appreciate your thoughts. Off
group if you prefer
The charges are on my site

Just a tiny thing...
the first hour says "inc travel"
Does that mean you charge for the travelling time, or just for the
time actually spent at the customer?
(sorry to be a pedent, comes from having to interpret requirements
docs.) cheers,


The time actually spent at the customers. In the paragraph above it says
"The first hour on site is charged at £45".

Do you feel that clears it up? Or could you suggest some better wording?
Open to ideas :-)
