sorry didn't want to be provocative, I make about £20 an hour but thinking of making some changes to by business to try and increase this as I have a feeling its below average. thanks all
i used to earn around £20 an hour in my trad days..i used to think it was good money back then...with wfp my expenses are more esp now with having a decent van,diesel hot water system, electric reel and decent poles...
what i did was when i switched to WFP i automatically put most of my work up a quid or two because i could now clean the frames and doors to a good standard and clean the awkward windows over connys/extensions,etc
i also started accepting the bigger jobs that would be impossible to clean off ladders on my own,also i noticed the bigger jobs i already had when i was trad started taking a lot less time to clean so i was earning considerably more for less time taken on the job.....
coupled with investing in better equipment over the years,compacting my round with newer work at higher prices (and price rises here and there for existing work)has elevated my hourly rate to what it is today.....its took a fair few years though......
