What's Your Profit Margin??

The Clive Holland Show

Tuesday, 22 April 2025 - 29 minutes

Profit margins - they’re the bit that keeps the business ticking over after the dust has settled and the job’s done. But how much are trades actually making? Is it 10%, 20%, 30%… or are rising costs and tight budgets squeezing it even lower? Today, we talked money - specifically, what profit margin do you aim for on each job, and is it realistic in the current climate? From pricing up to getting paid, we want to know how you keep things profitable without pricing yourself out of the market. Danny Madden and Steph Leese - the Pink Plasterer - joined us to tell us what sort of margin they make. Plus there’s also the pub lunch quiz for your chance to grab yourself 6 points as well as the very best messages that we received!
