You know its amazing how many people will pay without questioning say £100 to have say a blind fitted at a window, but they always seem to moan about the price of carpet cleaning. You get "well your only cleaning it" - they dont realise the labour costs, chemicals expended, business running costs etc etc

How can we educate them?
This is something the NNCA should be doing on a National level.

I wish they would pay £100 for the fitting of a blind

Some people think they can have three large blinds supplied and fitted for £99. ::) ::) ::) ::)

I was in a flat when a gas fitter came to change the flex pipe on the back of a cooker. Unscrew from old cooker- put more PTFE tape on end and screw back in the new cooker. 12 mins £45.
