What should you charge?
Honest price calculators for UK local trades — built from the pricing chapters of real operating manuals. Whether you're getting a quote or setting one, the maths is the same.
The calculators
Eight trades, priced properly.
More trades coming — The Works Co. catalogue covers 23 of them.
The method
Base and modifier. That's the whole trick.
Anchor a base price
Every job has a standard unit — the three-bed semi, the double oven, the square metre of block paving. Price that first, from real local numbers.
Apply the modifiers
Area, frequency, vehicle size, first-visit premium. Multipliers keep quoting fast and defensible — and stop you inventing a new price on every doorstep.
Name the add-ons
The downpipe, the pet hair, the re-sand. Priced as named lines, agreed up front — never discovered on arrival, never given away free.
Where the numbers come from
Every calculator here is one chapter of a manual.
The Works Co. publishes plain, complete operating manuals for 23 UK trades — pricing, kit, marketing, the first £500 before you register anything. Each is £47, with the AI toolkit included.
Straight answers
Are these trade prices accurate?
They are typical UK bands for 2026, built from the pricing methods in The Works Co. manuals. Local markets vary — treat every output as a starting band and gather 15–30 local price points before committing to a number.
Who runs PriceMyTrade?
The Works Co., a small UK publisher of plain operating manuals for AI-proof local trades. The calculators are free and unrestricted; each one uses the pricing method from that trade's £47 manual.
Can I use these calculators to price my own jobs?
Yes — that is what they are for. Each calculator uses the base-and-modifier method working operators use: a base price, multipliers for your area and frequency, and add-ons priced as named lines.
