Eco work

[JAH HEATING]

Just been offered it, 3 ton a Combi swap, 4 for conversion.

you supply the pipe etc, if there is a gas run you just do it.

paid every two weeks, all locally based.

yay or nay ? Bear in mind I'm just waiting for a start offshore now, few months tops.

am starting to cut back loads on jobs I don't wont to be really doing I.e. bloody bathrooms have loads to do.

got to go up tomorrow to see me mate who's running it...

 

[Hirstgas]

I was doing them in Leeds £300 all gear supplied and if anything was extra you got paid extra.

Depends on how much gear your going to need. Could end up with not a lot left

Sounds carp to be honest you could easily end up with peanuts but it all depends on how busy you are.

Basically I've got about 4 bathrooms to do, would rather not if honest.

the phone been pretty slow on the gas side of things, I was hoping to be offshore by feb but not looking likely

300 inc boiler and vertical flue but you can keep scrap ? I will give u van, to make it feel off shore I have a shipping container on headland with a dodgy light and a bunk bed ? Seems ok for direct swap carp if it's going to need more than £50 of fittings.

Has that dried up now Liam?

 

[Hirstgas]

Havnt done any for ages. but my mate who was working for them all time said there having problems getting funding and they havnt done owt for a few week.

 

[hammers4spanner]

hasnt the bubble burst on this now ?

Heard that BG killed alot of it off

 

[willing2learn]

The initial post, the prices do seem a bit on the low side!! Especially as you have to supply your own pipe.

 

[JAH HEATING]

Mainly combis, an some are already condensing in.

Gas over 9mtr upgrade, you then get extra.

you keep the scrap to

I done this for three weeks, hated it. Was on £200 per job, all materials supplied, kept scrap. Combi straight swaps not a prob but rarely got those ov systems slugged up, existing leaks, bad pipework, no pump overruns, bricking up old holes. Terrible jobs no one wants for a low price, knew it was rubbish but only done it to bridge a slow period. Should have gone on holiday to wormwood scrubs, would have had a better time

This agency is bending my ear,comb to combi £300 but you supply all pipe and fittings,so in reality prob £250 ish, not fantastic as you have to clear job off,and brick up.Doin a bit for a mate of mine,he doe's eco through Gloworm,he had a text thurs GW have pulled plug on it due to lack off funding

 

[Reltub]

Im doing combi swaps at the min in eco £240

 

[Ermintrude]

Jesus a combi swap with a bit of brickwork in and out 4h topps. Go back after two days empty out and refill with inhibitor

 

[Reltub]

You cant always get them done in 4 hrs theres always something slows u down

 

[JAH HEATING]

I'm going to give it ago in a week or so.

basically, my mate who is running it explained it like this.

you do 5 Combi swaps, you get 1500.

people are invoicing with 30 percent materials, some with 40.

Some are a piece of ****, condensing already in.

Leave on temp, there hasn't been one Combi yet that has been a bf taken out.

conversions you get 4 ton, anything over ten mtr gas you get paid extra.

keep the scrap, so that's at least a ton a week.

 

[Reltub]

Id do it

 

[JAH HEATING]

If they go easy right,upgrading gas to 28mm,internal wall poor fixing problems,taking out built in cupboard, and refixing after install,tracing and fixing gas leaks on existing,normally want system cleansing before instal ltrvs throughout.For the past 18 months ive been chucking heatings in a day with me mate combi 9 rads ,gas line,full rip out,so I wouldn't consider myself I a dodderer,but some of the ecco work can be a nightmare with a poor survey

who are you doing it for

 

[JAH HEATING]

Not a bad first week, 1 Combi swap with vert flue. 2 Combi swaps a doddle, 2 conversions with a bit of a carcas.

3 straight Combi swaps next week, 2 conversions.

 

[TBServices]

Can't believe you only get an extra £100 and same time frame to convert to combi.

What if condense run is a pain, or gas is all in 15?
