Have you ever considered the actual cost to you of doing it?

There is no cost to me, I agree prices and durations up front. No one has ever run over.

Explain how I can access your private data and information when I'm tiling the bathroom please.

You can't access my private data and information on my computer, what a silly thing to say! However, you could go snooping in other rooms, damaging things and hiding that damage or cut corners.

I'm not saying either you or Andy would do that personally but there are people out there who 'pretend' to be tradesmen who happily would do. Usually after I have seen someone do one job for me and they come back I don't need to watch what they do.

Anyway, this is going way off topic now, so I will bow out.

Of course there is a cost to you. How much do you get paid per hour for your work? Every hour you spend breathing down someones neck you lose that amount of money. More to the point you cost HIM money in a fixed price environment because you slow him down and get in the way.

......... I agree prices and durations up front. No one has ever run over

You miss the point..

Read again what you wrote and you'll see that my reply is by no means silly.

However, you could go snooping in other rooms,........

which would hardly be possible with you in the building now could it? You don't have to be watching his back every second to achieve that objective.

damaging things and hiding that damage or cut corners.

now you are clutching at straws.

I'm not saying either you or Andy would do that personally...........

Thank you but that is sorta what you implied.

but there are people out there who 'pretend' to be tradesmen who happily would do.

Yes there are and thats where recommendation is so important.

Usually after I have seen someone do one job for me and they come back I don't need to watch what they do.

Pleased to hear it. Yes lets stop. I think we understand one another now.

It's a little bit pricey but you do live in London where prices are slighly higher than elsewhere in the country.

This post is really old, i would be shocked if any chippy can demand 180 pound a day in todays climate, i have mates who are carpenters, plasterers and brick layers, and they are lucky to find a days work.

Infact a lot of my friends have had to look elsewhere for work, im sure the good times will come back for the building trade, but if you need work doing by a tradesman you should get it done at a very competitive price now.

My mate the other day was charging 80 pound a day, 2 years ago he was charging 150 pound a day, if tradesman want the work they will have to lower their prices, otherwise they will just be over looked.

i dont think they would have much choice today, i dont see there being a problem watching someone do their work, if they have a problem they obviously have something to hide.

Bully for you. Ok then fixed price at my risk is out the window. Now its its hourly rate at your risk until the job is finished and when its taken twice as long as it should becaues you are a) continually getting in the way b) chatting away and distracting me and c) holding me up then you'll moan again. Actually on second thoughts I neither want nor need your business thank you very much. Game over!

i am a plasterer by trade, never work on daily rate and i think is fair in both sides when agreed on fixed price and writen down ona paper whats mine and whats yours to buy/do.
most of proper tradesmen no mater what trade would stick to fixed trade as they know what they do and make the money from speed of doing it- many times coming cheaper than if you went for daily rate.
you should check for quality though before ou pay
