Nothing!
I don’t agree with marking up things and having a special trade price!
You should have your labour rate and that can take into account measuring, collecting, delivery etc. But marking up products is likely to cause problems, If the client saw the original price.
Be honest and you will get repeat orders and work on a good reputation.

Don’t charge them any extra for materials. If you want repeat custom, honesty is the best policy.
