your estimate

Plymouth's not too bad if you are in the right market Joe. I'm in Plymouth, just a one man band, but work on the basis of £200 a day & I'm booked up well into September. I've always tried to steer clear of the cut throat bottom end of the market & most of my work is in the suburbs of Plympton, Plymstock, Ivybridge & Saltash where they seem happy to pay that.
I wouldn't fancy getting any bigger though & having to chase work, thats when you can't be too choosy.

I have just put my price up from £150 to £200, Had loads of quotes but not turning into work, Might go back down, but want to stick to my guns for a little bit longer, Priced a job at £300 a day the other day for a recommended customer and ended up getting it at £250, so it really is the hardest part of the job, valuing yourself and the work you do correctly!!
