    How much to charge for garden waste?

    I have registered. I have a waste carriers licence. My local tips charged me between £6-£8 for a ton bag of garden waste. I was wondering how much I would charge on top of that per bag for customers? I have to consider the time to drive it and move the rubbish. I can get two bags in my...

    How much to charge for garden waste?

    I just took a ton bag full of garden waste to my local tip and they charged me £6. A heavy one would probably be £8. How much should I charge per bag to customers? I can take 2 bags in my van.

    Been asked day rate and hourly rate for work on flats?

    What sort of prices to people generally charge? I thought about the £18/hr and it wouldn't work for one hr so thought - £30 first hr then £20 second hr then £15/hr for all following hrs. Because being called out for an hr far away for £18 wouldn't work.

    Been asked day rate and hourly rate for work on flats?

    £120 or £130 sound ok for a day rate and £18/hr for hourly rate. These flats are quite a drive in my van (40 mins one way)- do those prices sound fair? It's pressure washing, gardening, painting, carpentry stuff for them. It's a bit out of town so there's lots of older rich people and no...

    Worth fitting blinds one day a week?

    They want to pay me £5 a blind. Would doing the one day benefit my skills much ? Couldn't I pick up decorating customers through the window cleaning as well? Out of interest, if I was to fit blinds myself, not through them (Hilary's) what company should I use? Hilary's have a side company...

    Need to find someone who can help me put up fence panel's?
