That seems really cheap, especially for your neck of the woods?
Is there much competition round your way?
Not to get into a willy waving thread-genuinely interested.
I've got a mate looking to expand his trad work not far from you.

Only experience will teach you how long a job takes, and how much people are prepared to pay.

And mostly ignore the prices being quoted on here  ;D

A forum can help with other things, but with pricing forget it !

Just look at the posts asking for advice on pricing, then watch all the arguments  ::)roll

at the end of the day it depends on what money you are happy with If a job takes 4hours some people will be happy with £200 and others £100. Even at the lower fig your still earning more than some highly trained proffesions

hi Darren £3 a metre is not that cheap, ie last lot of gutters I cleared out was 17 metres @£3 a metre took me 40 minutes.

I prefer to charge by the metre, as I don't need to go and give a quote before hand and i have done myself previously by not looking properly
