Roller blind fitting cost?

Nov 23, 2017 9 Replies

A friend has asked if I can fit two basic roller blinds. Both will need the roller and fabric shortening to fit narrower window. I'd happily do it for nothing but they insist on paying the going rate.



So my question is what is the "odd job man" going rate.



TIA

I'd happily settle for that but they want to make it what a tradesman would charge - difficult one eh?

I charge either a bottle of wine or a bottle of good malt - depending. In some cases I ask for a donation to a charity.

A quick Google suggests ~1 hour per window at £49 per hour:

Why not adopt Dave's pricing scheme:

I sure he won't mind! ;-)

and then there are the surcharges: 50% if you watch, 100% if you "help".

Been there. Roller binds are utter crap, always have been and always will be. Bloody awful things. Tell your friend to pay the shop he bought then from to fit them.

I don't at all :-)

I'd prolly quote £60
