What changes the price for man with a van

What makes a man with a van more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
