Oooh , lets not get fisty , i too am in plymouth , and that kind of pricing from MLS is about right , they dont pay big money down here , you can get it but you would need to be lucky .
Just as an example , a while ago i was asked to quote a job and i was in the running with about 3 of plymouths biggest firms , i was the most expensive , and i went in cheaper than i should have , but i got the job , why i hear you say ?
It all came down to the fact that i came across better than the other chaps , they tended to drop how much is your cheapest price and we will beat it , its for some reason in the south west its quantity not price .

P & F,
don't take this the wrong way....

I know prices are very low here in the south west on commercial work (especially the further south you go) owing to expected low tenders. If the prices are that low, surely you would be better concentrating on domestic work instead at a better price (for more profit for the same amount of time spent) rather than trying to obtain commercial work priced low in comparison.

I use to be a busy fool traditional w/c but learned from my mistakes quickly when converting over to wfp not to put all my eggs in one basket, different types of work, different areas and not to underprice just for the sake of obtaining work.

No disrespect intended to any of you lads in Plymouth.

£300 for 3 days is low for that type of work. The problem with a 3 day contract is that you end up working all day. With domestic you get more money for less physical work. Your initial price of £425 was better.

In future if they barter with you rather than JUST reducing the price, reduce some of the workload as well.

Windows washed , im not taking it the wrong way chap , personaly i like to have a mix of work , makes it less mundane , you get good , you get bad , for instance this past week i have been more than busy on work such as this , and i might add that it is so ludicrously high priced you might poop your pants !   ;D ;D

Yeah, and I remember all the complaints about the fat geezer, on the end of the orange pole, the residents didn't like the way you stuck your tongue out whilst cleaning their windows!!  :P
