Hi'

I'm a plumber who always worked for big companies so I'm not good with prcing private jobs. I just got a private job where customer says he has two leaks on two seprate radiotors, he want to fix them and change valve to TRV's. No boiler, F&E tank which takes longer to drain. How much should I charge customer?

Thanks for help.

Decide on an hourly rate and work to that. You know what TRVs cost. Do you not have a pipe freezing machine? Can you not plug F&E?

Customers providing the TRV's. Yes I can plug F&E which I might actually do. I just want a roughly price guide. would £200 be a good price?
 
Too much I'd say. Shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours should it? Coupe of valves. £200 is sort of top-end day-rate really. The real experienced in-demand guys who are gas registered are the only ones who might hope for more than that. £100 max I'd say.
 
yeah I don't think its gonna take more than few hours...but hey no jobs too small 😉...£100? okay, that's cool with me. thanks for your advice peeps.
 
Charge what you thinks about right , £100 is reasonable up north id charge about £80
 
ah the north south divide im afraid nowadays is a pure myth cost should be the same all over
 
is this replacing 2 rads or are the rads ok? 2 trvs and on an vented system ?

150 if replacing the rads like for like. be gone by dinner if they make nice cups of tea
