Pricing outdoor and property work
Access, materials and weather move the price on every outdoor job. These four guides show what Irish pros are quoting in 2026, and where margin usually leaks.
Pricing cleaning work
Domestic, commercial and window cleaning run on three different pricing models. Work out your hourly, per job and contract rates before you send the next quote.
Pricing work inside the home
Fit outs and first fix work are priced by room, spec and day rate. Here is what Irish electricians, kitchen fitters and decorators are charging this year.
Registering, insuring and staying legal
Your registration and insurance decide what work you can legally take on. This is what Revenue, the CRO and Safe Electric expect, in plain terms.
Finding work and keeping clients
Being listed is not the same as being booked. These guides cover profiles that convert, quoting quickly, and turning one-off jobs into repeat clients.
