I absolutely love pressure washing and I'm getting paid for it.

I charge 60€/hr for plumbing and 50€/hr for all the rest. Vat included. I looked what others on similar field are charging but really, I just pulled that out of my ass. I can always adjust my prices later. I just went with what felt right.
When it comes to greed, I wasn't so much refering to the hourly rate but rather everything else people like to add in the invoice. If you say you charge 50€/hr but then there are added expenses for travel/starting price/profit for supplies and such it tends to leave a bad taste even if it's not that much in monetary terms. Makes people feel tricked.
Sure, many of these are such things that I could charge for but I don't want to. My hourly rate is set such that I don't need to try and sneak in additional expenses. I genuinely try to be fair and offer the kind of service I'd want to use myself but in the end I'm honeslty just winging it. Self-employment doesn't run in the family so I have no-one to model after but my own vibes.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate the insight
