To think this is expensive

[Sally150]

Hello I currently have somebody regrouting between my patio slabs.
It's quite a large area and entails him getting down on his knees constantly and its quite time consuming maybe 2 to 3 days worth.
How much would you expect to pay.

It also entails relaying the odd slab here and there.
They are charging £300 plus materials.

Sounds cheap!

This is the same as the last thread!

It would depend on how’s big the area is plus how big the slabs are I guess.

Did you get more than one quote?

Is this a reverse?

I think that sounds bloody good value! It’s such a boring, back killing job i’d Pay double just to not do it myself.

What last thread

Not a reverse

£100 a day is cheap. Remember they will be paying for income tax, pensions, insurance and replacement of equipment from that.

If he is already doing it you have agreed to the quote and need to pay regardless of what he has charged.

He is a lone handyman

No that sounds right

Of course I will pay wouldn't dream of not paying.

Yep that sounds really reasonable to me as well, for that amount of work. On the cheap side if anything

I thought
“ well they won’t want less than £150 a day, so £450 minimum”.
I live in SW and we renovated our house and garden, and I’d say that’s good value.

I don’t suppose he’s in the south east is he. Sounds like a bargain

No thanos

That sounds very cheap to me.

Bargain.
Labour intensive job.

That is very cheap.

Sounds cheap for three days work.

Are you all referring to the post where the user said she'd agreed a price but now doesn't want to pay? This is someone different!

Sally I think that's a bloody good price for 3 days work!

£100 a day is incredibly cheap! That’s less than £15 an hour assuming he works 9-5 and breaks for an hour, for skilled and physically tiring labour.

He may finish in 2

That's roughly £12 an hour, I think it's very reasonable as tax/insurance/NI need to come out of that not to mention other running costs.

He has been arriving at 11 and finishing at 7
