Hi everyone,
A friend of mine called earlier, knowing that I am starting out in the plumbing world. He said his mum needs some work to be done and asked what sort of price she can expect to pay/be quoted. I know from reading other 'pricing' threads on here that it's hard to give an accurate price without actually seeing the job but if I give as much info as I can hopefully someone can give me a rough price.
Ok she wants a new boiler, she presently has a ferroli ff77 combi, she wants it swapped over in the same place so minimal pipe chopping and moving. She wants new valves on the radiators (approx 10 rads) and she wants the system flushed. That's what I have been told she wants doing, I'll go back to my friend after I get replies to see what he says.
He said she has to bash the front of the boiler to get it going if it shuts down or wont start, so I said well if it does actually work she might be better off having it repaired rather than replaced but he said it's old anyway so will probably get it replaced.
Can anyone advise to what they would expect to charge for this sort of job. The job is just outside Camarthen in Wales. I wouldn't usually bother with this sort of post as I'm sure they are pretty annoying but he's my oldest friend so said I'd come on the forum and do my best to get a rough idea.
Any help appreciated and if any more info is required I'll get it, thanks!
