Title: What to charge.
Post by: sherco on November 06, 2011, 03:01:32 pm

Had a mate phone early today, someone left a tap running in their kitchen and flooded 3 of his offices. I went and extracted the water and he got a dehumidifier. I was ther for 3hrs and not sure what to charge? Any ideas.

Is it your mate who's paying?

Yes it is a mate, told me to charge the going rate for it.

If it's for a good mate, a nice bottle of Malt does me.... ;) ;D

I suppose it comes down to how good a mate, and if he's recouping the costs from elsewhere?

He has a very good business, so not short of a few quid. I did think £150.00 would be a fair price to charge to get it sorted on a Sunday morning.
