    are you supplying material or them? if you are price the stuff in wholesalers work out roughly how long it will take you and charge per hour.
    if they are supplying just charge an hourly rate of whatever you feel is appropriate

    It can depend. Some jobs you can price by the hour, and some you can't. As an example, you couldn't really charge an hourly rate just to replace a ceiling rose.

    I don't think so anyway

    Just a reminder that all discussed costs are to include VAT at the correct rate as per the charter. Thanks all.

    well i reckon maybe around 1 - 2 hours work so it all depends what you think is a fair price for the work and allowing for the fact that you have to get the stuff as well which also takes time. i wouldnt be looking for a fortune to do the job as it will probably be simple enough but i wouldnt work for free either. had to give you an exact price but i reckon 40 - 60 euro wouldnt be too unreasonable to charge for the labour.
