      Great work and I think £300 would be a reasonable charge due to repeat visits and the value you saved them. As a potential customer I'd be very happy with 10% of the cost

    • @Actuallytbh
      @Actuallytbh 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      £500 is easily justified for the quality and experience you bring. Not mentioning the amount he would have had to pay otherwise…

    • @GeorgeMcG90
      @GeorgeMcG90 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      200 i reckon. 2 hours work, save the landscaper, customer happy. Everyone wins

      @davidlenton8627 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nice job Kirky. £200-250 seems fair to me, but I’m sure the Landscape Guy would happily pay £500, rather than the £3,000 quoted by Monocouche Man.

    Made a cracking job of patching that in. Considering took you 2 trips to complete the work and you needed a bag of material £250-300 would've been very reasonable. Served my time with my old man as well. 40 years later can still hear his voice in the back of my head. You're a top tradesman Kirk, all the best mate

    An absolute legend! I've learnt so much by watching this channel. Did a internal wall repair myself. Took it back to bricks, bonded it and then plastered it thanks to everything I learnt on this channel. People who seen the work couldn't believe how will it looked. That's a sign of a good teacher. Thank you Kurt.

    • @zaxmaxlax
      @zaxmaxlax 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    • @Terrybikesandmusic
      @Terrybikesandmusic 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      100 pounds? Even at a minimum of a call out charge @£75x2 visits plus materials, you’d be looking at around £200. Can’t work for pittance in this day and age

    • @Ryannic25

    What a guy and what a great finish on the repair. Thought you could have got away with charging £200-£300 for your time and travel costs but doing it as a favour will probably reap you a lot more than that from recommendations from the owner and the landscaper. A true gentleman and you’re a credit to all good tradesman. 👏👏

  • @craigwilliams7516
    @craigwilliams7516 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Kirk, I follow channels from different trades (I'm a decorator) based on their qualities as tradesmen and as people - the sort you can learn a lot from. I've taken some advice you gave a while back about pricing estimates and I've found it to be very effective and a great long term strategy. Based on that i had a feeling that you'd do the right thing and charge little or nothing. All jobs are an investment as well as a transaction. Sleeping well at night is priceless. Well done pal 👏🏻👏🏻

  • @wilkodog5252

    It's so refreshing to finally see someone in a TH-cam video use tools that are actually used, a little rusty, a little dirty from the previous jobs. At least I can see it's not me, those tools are really hard to clean and everyone in TH-cam seems to buy new fit every new job...

  • @paulbruce4014
    @paulbruce4014 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    Remember you had to see the job, 2 visits, fetch the materials. Then you returned to check it. £100.
    But well done you did a favour 👍. It will come back to repay you in other ways.
    I do the same here in Spain, am a retired engineer & get all sorts of small jobs which I charge crazy cheap for, as it is my experience that fixes things. I have so much return work that I just can’t cope with it all 😂

    My Grandad said "never work for free" and generally he's been right. These kind of jobs can turn bad quickly.However if I knew the person well and they were a good customer,they'd get it free. The other benefit is if you haven't charged and you get "the phone call" a couple of weeks later you can tell them to get lost. Top work as always

    Glad you helped him out. What goes around comes around.
    The electric board came out to my place up in the South Downs one Christmas Eve when the elec went off. It was snowing and about 11pm. I went out with coffee, tea and biscuits for them.
    a year or so later I went through an electric cable and put ten houses off, while digging a post hole. Estimated cost £8,000 to repair because they can make any number up, no-one else can work on their systems. Then one of the guys said; "Don't I know you? You live in the woods and made us coffee when we were up there on Christmas Eve." Then he made some magic marks on his job sheet and told me not to worry 'the cable's in the wrong place'..
    A few brews and biscuits saved £8,000.

    • @michaelchallen
      @michaelchallen 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Onthetrowel thing is, by doing it as a favour and if he's a decent bloke, you've done the best advertising possible. You've now got someone out there working on a different trade looking out for you, and when someone he's working for says he can't get a plasterer or his son is building a house and needs a plasterer, that fencer will put you forward, and a recommendation is far better than an advertisement. Quite often I've found that people don't even bother with other quotes, if they trust the guy then by extension you're trusted. A lot of my customers don't even ask for a quote now, they phone me and say; "I've been thinking of doing this....when can you come and build it?"

    Top tip leave it for 1 hour and if you have a gas blow torch go over it with a light flame that will dry it out gradually and give it a scratch after 30 minutes the same day

    Once again , you've proved what a true gent you are. Getting a fellow tradesman out of trouble. I'm not in the trade, but I have found your videos really inspiring. On the pricing, as a layman, I thought a fair price would be , two visits £200, plus the bag of filler, plus your know how, total £350. Good luck and wishes for 2025.

      Is he your mate or an acquaintance? Are you doing it for the money or to help someone out? Are you hard up or doing well right now?
      It's all about circumstance. I've done a bunch of pro bono stuff in the past, but nowadays my time with my daughters is way too important.

    Brilliant , excellent workmanship and knowledge I originally had in my head around £150-200 for the excellent repair, after all you have to buy a full bag of product, and it takes you away off another job twice, but to do it as a mate , he owes you which is what good mates are for. Cracking job Son as an retired spreader , respect!

    People get too mean. Things like that happen. You'd have to be a real bastard to insist on on redoing the whole wall.

      I agree with you on this. Why didn't the original person that did the render, offer to run round and fix it?. I bet they charged enough for the original job. Tight ar5es. Shows what a decent bloke Kirk is, to do it and not even charge.

    You're a legend Kirk, around £200 would have been fair, the fact that you charged nothing shows you are a true and honourable gentleman. Can't understand why the original renderers were planning charging £3k to redo the whole lot and why they couldn't have just patched like you did.
