@NICK ADSL UK...... Under charging IMHO. Who is to say what is or is not a fair price?? Why do barristers get paid £350+ VAT per hour and no one pipes up.
I would not get out of bed for less than £220 + VAT for a XG10 on a 8-10ft 2 inch mast on a 13 inch cradle/T&K going to 1 point. If people think that's expensive then go elsewhere. What I hate are the firms that advertise £99 installed but when they turn up there will be complications that inflate the cost to £350 (we have seen it all on watchdog).
If you are happy doing all that work for £228 at a guess £130 profit, the good luck to you, however, ask yourself this. What is the main reason MOST people will not climb ladders?? I would guess that it is fear of falling no with all the best H&S in place, accidents can still happen. So when someone says to me 'it's just an aerial on the roof' I respond with 'you can borrow my ladders and crack on yourself if you like'....... Never bee taken up on the offer.
Also I do not believe in ripping people off and have quoted jobs on the phone and when I have got there turned out to be a bit more than I thought, on them few occasions I just have to swallow it as I never asked the correct questions in the 1st place.
