I used to get that with crack repairs picked up by the surveyor, quote and never hear anymore, dont bother now, ime sure they get my quote taken of the price of the house then just dont bother having the work done.
You are spot on charging £250. More than reasonable in this day and age. Especially as you have the work coming in. Makes sense you would do this for free in the past until your business reached a point where you didn't need to. My friend runs a swimming pool company. Last year very busy and he spoke about doing this very thing. This year has been very slow so the risk of charging for a quote is high. Also buy giving that quote aside from time you spend you also have the equal time that could be spent elsewhere which would likely be worth more than £250. You are also creating a quote that you would honor so it's important you are motivated to do it correctly. Lastly if a client can't afford the £250 quote it could be a warning sign about future payments.
You really don’t charge for estimates? I am moving away from free estimates. My thought process on that is, nobody works for free, so that means that the clients that hire us end up paying for the tire kickers and that doesn’t seem fair to me.
Personally I think the £250 is maybe a lot for just a quote. However I completely agree with the charge: its time and petrol spent. It just feels like it maybe shouldn't amount to £250? That's said: love your work. You do an amazing job. Shame you aren't in Manchester area, I would have hired you in the spot.
INCREDIBLE QUALITY as always I think the reason that roof is bowing and the top courses of brickwork is being pushed out is the weight of those concrete tiles as previously they were slate regards Howard from Cyprus 🎉🎉🎉
I'd assume if they aren't prepared to pay £250 then they can't afford the house and the work required. I dont work in a trade, but if I did I would do the same. It will filter put the dreamers and time wasters.
You obviously work for perfection. Why don't you stop the rub down and repaint option. You would lose work but your mental health will benefit and you will keep your workforce smaller and happier. Great insight into a very well run business
@@londonrepointingrestoratio4275 Absolutely I totally see this. When you reach this very high standard there should be no compromise in the paint finish. However the grey area of preparation shouldn't really be there so a total strip and full high quality repair is the only way. Thank you for replying
Interesting video! I admire your work helping London's streets look great and making house owners happy. I hope you're able to get some relaxation at some point though. Keep up the high quality work
Due to the high quality of your work, I can see you are in great demand. I can imagine that there are days when you have to juggle multiple tasks at once, which can be very stressful, especially if you're conscientious.
Completely understand the frustration from people not replying. We need to understand though, what a person needs to be earning to afford brickwork restoration, it’s thousands and so completely out of 90%+ people’s price range, they do not even know what to respond with. Many feel embarrassed even asking when they get the quote and it is eye watering for them
Marcus is lucky he’s got a tolerant boss and an understanding and forgiving customer like Jen.. can you imagine if he’d painted Ron n Reg’s mums ‘ouse’ the wrong colour or Roy Shaws ? or Eddie Richardson’s or Mad Franks.. 😖😖😖.. anyway, sorted now and another fantastic job 🫡
Great videos and exceptional work would love to see the brickwork restoration process as your finished work is top class, being a brickie it’s really up my street, well done to you and the lads top class
Loads of companies around near me (not London) keep saying mine can't be taken off without damaging the walls underneath. !! So annoying as i know it can be done as you are proving
How can you make a 12mm that you cleaned out look like a 6 mm ??? Point it twice with coloured motar first then grind and fill with a lime colour maybe??
