HomeForce Pricing Policy
HomeForce’s goal is to provide reliable Edinburgh tradespeople who carry out work to a high, professional standard. In our experience of tradespeople “cheap” does not usually go with quality, reliability and good service.
That is not to say that HomeForce tradespeople are expensive, far from it, 96% of customers tell us that they receive good value for money from HomeForce tradespeople.
The 19th Century Philosopher and Social thinker John Ruskin made some apposite comments on pricing. It’s around these principals that HomeForce tradespeople base their prices:
” It’s unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do”
“The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done.”
“If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.”
“There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only, are this man’s lawful prey.”
