Take your normal hourly rate, add on a percentage for specialist service (ULV/Fog) and add on the cost of prep. Failing that, do what the big boys do: work out what it will cost, times by ten, divide by 2, times by1.9, plus VAT, then offer a big discount if they dont bite.

The experts keep telling us in OZ that we should be charging $100 per hour to cover our overheads. Thats about 30 pounds and a bit if my maths is near enough. Add on the cost of the product, plus a profit margin for the company (15% sounds good)Add VAT
Alternately. Become familiar with an applied cost per cubic metre/yard and be able to quote off the top of your head each and every time
Don't feed them, get Rid of them
