I see what your saying most customers would want it cheaper if the fitter don't have a shop. But they won't get it cheap off me. Think most customers would want it cheaper cash job. And pay no vat or tax.

There is a difference in a sub contractor who works for shops then does cash jobs at night or weekends and some one with a website a sign written vat who does a invoice with vat on.

Things are changing now as shops are dying all over the place. Years ago everything you brought was from a shop now and you buy most things online. My local shops used to be great now it's all betting shops, charity shops, take aways and pound land shops. So still great lol

Shops in my area are still busy but I think my prices are similar to there's when I've seen both prices.

i have to agree with lvt man,
I do think that someone with a shop, a wage to pay for someone to be in there all the time, will be more expensive than someone with just a lock up. They need to charge more to cover their over heads. I have a unit which is an over head but its cheaper than a shop and there isn't someone in there 6 days a week so I can be cheaper than someone with a shop and still make enough money. If I was offering some very skilled design floors like daz, spacey then I would charge literally as much as I could because you are paying for that skill. I wouldn't care if I was more expensive than a shop because if they want that standard then they will pay for it.

im closing this thread lads and im going to start a new one in the trade section. I will leave this thread here tho so people can see it and if they want to join in then they will find a new thread in the Trade Section.

The thread in the trade section will be a discussion on rates. We will come up with a table and when we all agree (using polls) i will publish the final table of charges on the open forum for every one to see. We might even knock up a seperate table of charges for TRADE only which will stay in TRADE ONLY for supply costs so we can all be supplying at simular prices. try and put a end to the price war. Its been pointed out that shops are dying, well if they all die we are in trouble as the customer wont be able to see products and our costs will then increase again as we will now all turn into a mobile show room also.

See you in the trade section lads !
