Going Rate

[Jamie Banks]

Hi

Quick question how much would you expect to pay for the following:

* installation of a gas fire in a conservatory including wxternal pipework
* 6 new rads with trv's all singles - double entry system
* boiler service condensor

Any offers?

Boiler service if it's a standard one, from £60 to £100.

The others, depends on the specific job, location and the details, how much modification is required.

thats where you are wrong, even in your own house it isnt a 10 min job, if you were watching telly and heard the overflow running, you would need to go out to the van, get a ballcock and a couple of pairs of grips, get the steps, go up the loft suss out what was happening, change the ballvalve, put the tools and steps back in the van then sit down again, if this was for a customer, you have the time to take the call, get the details, drive to the job, then do above and drive home, remember fuel etc and sort out the bill (or have slightly longer on the job getting paid, writing a receipt

We charge £45.00 p/h + vat min for anything, this is to cover running costs. You cant drive from one side of a city to the other for £20.00
No wonder so many plumbing companies come and go.

Any hoo a washer and all other material to repair a float valve cost no where near £5.00

Just clicked on the link www.checkyourprice.co.uk and they’re having an absolute laugh are they not! Prices are far too cheap!!!!!

 

[dontknowitall]

Wish I could charge those prices!! But then the average salary where I live is about £18k to the UK average of around £24k and if I charged those prices there are plenty of others who'd under cut me.

More sheep than people around these parts, hence the low pay.
