And, as a customer of mine who is a very reputable but "slightly expensive" decorator puts it: "I don't overcharge, I try to charge a fair rate per hour plus whatever it costs to do the job properly. If someone is offering to do it cheaper - it will be crap."

I can see his point really...

That is true - We very often get what we pay for.
