Small video going into the hidden costs of a small job. Tried doing this as cheap as possible, hence why I didn't rebuild the entire chimney.

Hiya guys! A lot of knowledgeable people here in the comments with a wealth more business experience than myself. Great to hear all the feed back! Some people have highlighted loads more "business expenses" i didn't even consider. A few examples are; Tools wearing out Van MOT + maintaining the van Phone (Didn't take this into account when breaking down the costs) But these are all very vaild costs that as self-employed workers we should try to consider. After looking at these costs and a few others, it would probably double the original cost mentioned in the video. Again, appreciate the knowledge shared on here in the comments, not only for myself, but other viewers who read the comments and people who watch the video. The main reason i started YT was to create a community where information was shared between us all. Very aware there's so much to learn regarding thr business side of being a construction worker. We're taught to be builder's, joiner's, or whatever trade. Not often taught about business. We're construction workers at the end of the day😂 Hope you guys are well. ITB weekly to commence soon... ish

As a builder for over fifty years I enjoyed repairing chimney stacks, especially in summer, sometimes you could just lift the first half a dozen courses off that’s virtually laid on dust , we found the best way to deal with damaged stacks was to take it down to solid bricks and mortar and rebuild them. They will last a very long time and not need repointing 😊

Izzy - Loving your stuff mate, but never forget that lost days to weather are an overhead too, probably your biggest after the van running costs, unless you have another income stream when you can't be on the tools. A word to the wise from a roofer 42 years in the game, don't fight shy of putting your labour charge up across the board to part accommodate lost time to the elements. Sensible people, who want a good job done, will pay sensible money. Keep grafting!!

Very good point. Also the van needs maintenance and needs replacing every few years. Accountancy, website fees if you have one, tools and consumables, VAT will be a reality eventually. Not to mention you won't get every job you quote for so your time spent quoting and invoicing needs considering. This is why running a business isn't for everyone, most people are uncomfortable asking for the amount of money you need to charge to stay in business, and find it hard justifying their costs when the inevitable "how much?" rears it's head.

Mortar to steel, no deal. That cap is going to crack the crown, allowing water in and starting the whole deterioration process all over again. Wrap the top of the pipe just below the crown with Ceramic wool insulation. As for your cost breakdown, the way you did the insurances should have been divided by the days you work in a month, not by the amount of days in the month. Otherwise, at the end of the month, you're going to be short. I put in an allowance for breakage for the roof tiles. If I didn't rebuild the whole chimney, I would at least repoint it from the roofline up. That repointing mortar is too strong for those bricks and they will spall. And aesthetically it will look much better. Sorry for the rant. I have been doing chimney and fireplace restoration exclusively for the last 32 years.

Mate come to Australia, most brickies here pick numbers out the air and charge what they like, so much work they can pick and choose their jobs, they do a lousy job, every job needs to be acid washed to clean off the smeared cement. A an example 2 work friends had new houses built, one had all the brickwork condemned and, builder said it was "to code" had to pay for an independent inspector and threaten legal action, cement between bricks varied between 2mm to 10mm. The other paid for upgraded bricks but the job was so bad, complained to the building inspector (they are all employed by the builder!!) and again threatened legal action, the builder ended up rendering the house.

you would divide insurance monthly cost by 20 days; if you only work weekdays as 4 weeks x5 is 20 obviously if you work Saturdays account for that but itll be 24, also adding 30-40% profit on smaller jobs, as the money may be less and the percentage may not always work out worthwhile profit wise if you account for time spent, this is if your paying yourself per hr not day rate - also id look into setting up a ltd company as this will allow better tax relief ie, setup the business in your name and then you can claim dividends rather than taking a wage this greatly lowers your tax payments , this is different in terms of me as i work from a workshop so i have a set rate per hr of work that has already accounted for overheads and profit i also charge 10% handling fee on materials

I’m an electrician by trade but do put my hand to most things and electricians now getting £600 per day minimum in London areas maybe lots more. Bricklayers in south east £300 per day minimum. You supply your own equipment that you’ve bought too don’t forget that. Yeh I think you’re worth £300 per day minimum! You work hard and get lots done.
