A little more in-depth consideration and it looks dirt cheap.
For instance, £20 of that £95 goes to the web site host, leaving £75 to the Brickie.
Assume one hour travelling each way, that's two hours, assume £15/hour, that's £30, leaving £40, not including travelling costs,left to do the job.
By the time materials are paid for, it's about two hours work at about £15/hour.

After two hours work and two hour travelling, there's probably not much opportunity to get another job in that day, so it works out at about £60 - £70 for a days work.
Would you consider that job at that price?

the job itself would take less than an hour from setting up to finishing cleaning,materials would cost no more than £5.if it was an hours journey away i wouldnt be doing it and the customer probaly wouldnt ring somebody that far away for such a small job.
its rare to get jobs like this but i couldnt sleep at night if i ripped someone off for more that £30 for this.
dont think id need the scaffold either.
£20 goes to the site provider? these people are worse than bankers.
