    Anyone charge for checking moisture. I don't mean quick test with aquant ect, more when you start with moisture boxes over a few days. Just been through the motion with a customer who has a new concrete floor with ufh, had to test wanting lvt newish concrete couple months old but 30mns drive away. Price too high & someone else got it, I think they bought online & found a fitter. Maybe if charged £50 and said would knockoff job if got it ? don't know. Any ideas

    We should really but if you told them at the start they'd probably go else where

    When the customers complain that it's not drying quick enough, I always tell them that I should be charging for this service but I will come over again and check it for you until it's dried....

    take a dipper on the job, then knock it off the price at the end that's what I do generally 20% of price

    I give quote and say that if accepted can't fit until moisture level low enough.
    Then if they accept it, I'll do checks.

    Dipper ? a deposit?
    trimmer how can you quote before testing, you may need to dpm later and the additinal cost may loose you the job ?

    dipper=deposit mate i give them a rough costing if it needs a dpm it's £- if not it's gonna be £- so much then show them the readings to prove i'm not trying to fleece them sometimes customer thinks they know best though can't be helped.

    I put price for Dpm as a seperate item and say that if moisture to high it will be added to cost.
