Always put the lowest budget on for a job. The higher u put the budget the more RP charge the tradesman. If you put a budget on The tradesman doesn't have to meet it, it's only a guide. TP will always advise you to put a higher budget as they make more money from the tradesman.

Hi Helen, The cost of a lead varies, with the average price being £15. Lead prices are based on size, location, budget, and current demand for that work. Thanks, Josh Ask an expert team

Hi . Depend of type of job RP charge trades quite high . If someone request electrician to do job and level of budget is around £250 you have to spend around £32 - £35 plus VAT . Painter will pay £15 for job where budget will be on same level . You still dont have guarantee you will win job . Even you win job customer have right to make quotation only and you have no chance for refund you spent . Good luck if you new on this web page .
