Why this structure
An hourly structure with a minimum first-hour charge is simpler to quote than pricing every small task individually, and it protects you on jobs that turn out to take longer than expected.
Commonly forgotten
- • Minimum charge if the job takes less than the first hour
- • Travel time for jobs outside your normal working radius
- • Cost of parts sourced on the day, at a premium versus pre-ordering
Good optional extras
- • Same-day priority booking
- • Regular maintenance visits
- • Larger multi-room jobs, quoted separately
Terms to get right
State the minimum charge clearly, and how multiple small tasks done in one visit are billed against it.
FAQ
How do I quote a job with lots of small unrelated tasks?
List them individually under one visit and bill against the combined time, rather than trying to price each task in isolation — it's faster to write and easier for the customer to follow.
What if a "quick job" turns into something bigger once I'm on site?
Agree upfront that you'll pause and re-quote before continuing if a job looks likely to significantly exceed the original estimate, rather than surprising the customer on the invoice.
