Etch Window Fitting vinyl job
Hi Guys, it’s been a while. I’m quoting a etch window fitting job:-
Supply and fit etch on several windows:-
800×400 X 2
400×350 X 2
950×400 X 2
850x 450 X 1I was thinking of £300 all in
Any help on what should I be charging on a supply and fit ? Thanks

great if you can get it!
My price would be nearer a third of that!!! -
We charge 180 nz (90 UK) per – linear – meter high quality frosted crystal 1220mm (cut, weeded, app taped and applied locally).
You can charge a lot less if you arent plotting it.
Apples and pears. -
oncw you work out your time, machinery and travel it’s not that much really and it’s for a big firm. A few months back I did an etch window for a big building company .. Which was 250x1500mm I quoted £40 supply and fit and he was like WOW … He was quoted 220 elsewhere for that 1 window … Obviously it’s got to be worth my time … Don’t fancy doing all the travelling etc… For a measly £50 surely £100 all in is far too cheap ? Cheers

To be honest £300 is not bad for that…
Supplied cut and fit you are looking at 2.5-3m of 1220 etch. Based on that I would probably personally charge £240 (£80plm) plus travel mileage of 40p per mile.
It is all about the distance you are travelling that affects the price. Just be careful how you approach the customer. If they want a breakdown for travel costs and you are charging £50-£80 travel or something like that they will look for a local company. Its better to have work that you cover a small amount of the travel cost and make profit on the work than have no work and have your customer source something closer. :thumbup2:

Thanks Dan …. I thought I was in the right ball park … As for travel it’s going to be 7 miles and 7 back … £240 seems quite reasonable

Let’s say £250 all in then

If it is 7 miles I would not bother charging mileage. I would only start charging mileage for anything out of a 10 mile radius of us. Anything under that is considered local business.
And you ALWAYS look after the locals 😉

OK so now it seems that it is not plain etch/frost but a cut design in etch film. That is a completely different matter and not stated in your first post.
My fist reply was based on fitting of a straight forward etch install with no design cut; that was how it was described.If each pane is the same fairly straightforward design then £300 is about right.
If its a complicated fine weeding design then its too little
If its a different design on each window then its definitely too little.there are so many variables not given
-
Stuart these have no designs in them .. Not sure where you got that from haha. But gone it at 250 for all 7 panels. Thanks guys

I would charge £129(including £60 for sub fitter) 50% deposit, balance when fitted. The work is in fitting it, the rest is easy peasey. Its not difficult enough to warrant a premium IMO.

Hi Stef, thanks for that so your at 190 and i actually went in @ 250 .. I think that’s reasonable. Cheers

I think Steph’s price of £129 is right.
For the plain frost its less than £20 quid of film and maximum 2 hours work.
Not sure where the £190 came from Daniel?My price for plain frost would be £35 /sqm so that is £75
Then I always have a pane charge (to account for lots of small panes as opposed to one large pane.) that is £5 per pane so an extra £35.
Then if the film wasn’t in stock and a one off there may be a carriage charge of £10 to get it in specially.
Altogether that is still only £120 plus VAT is £144.If any mileage we also charge 45p a mile.
I’ve compared very similar prices to mine with quite a few others and usually seems inline. Possibly I’m now falling behind and if most think this is cheap I may increase my prices.
Never seen such a large mark up on a couple of meters of window filming before ! those sizes are hardly bigger than my computer screen !!!! probably slap on all 7 small panes in an hour !
But hey you got the job so well and good, but I don’t think its normal -
I’m with Steph and Stuart.
It’s a straightforward local job – £40 per sq metre fitted.
I’d say that’s industry standard.
Unless it’s 3M crystal or something else non standard.

No, I would charge £129 finished.
I would be interested to know what some of the pricing software comes up with as I havent allowed for depreciation of the machine .

Sorry my mistake … I also would like to what prices it comes up with ?

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
We’d still work it out the same way you lot do, how many metres, add you markup to the material, then add the labour aspect at what ever we’ve worked it out to be (incl depreciation :wink:)
Adjust the price to reflect the client. A large PLC will likely pay more than a new beauty salon that’s opening up and having spent all their cash on pretty mirrors.
I’m not in the office today, so can’t check prices we get etch at, but in my head I £225 sounds about right.
