bit high for plumbing work redsaw, if the boss is getting 65, take off the 11 and Nics, holiday and sick, add on the insurance, cost of van servicing etc etc and his margins wont be massive.
 
Why don't you shop around? See what other work is out there. Don't work for a pound less than you could be working for.
 
Sorry should have said 65 for the plumbing and 80 for the heating but that's inclusive of VAT. I think I may have to look for another company but am not overly keen on working on a Saturday as I'm used to mon-friday

But you're in Wales. A house costs about 12 quid. He doesn't need to "count himself lucky" he needs to find out what he could be earning elsewhere.
 
I am happy with the work. Just I've seen gas jobs offering around £30k on job sites and thought I should be asking my boss for the equivalent.
 
Don't forget that your boss is providing you with a van tools consumables sick pay holiday pay work phone and work he's got to make some profit off you as well before paying you, yes id say that £11 PH sounds a little low but some of my jobs I'm only earning £15 PH and I'm SE with all the over heads to pay before making any money

i would take that with a pinch of salt, have a look in the paper/ training centers 6 week gas course after that you will be earning 30-60k a year

Then he'll have to pull his finger out. But he'll be eating crispy duck on Friday night rather than special fried rice.

I see them a lot but in reality unless you want call outs and long hours a lot of the companies are not worth looking at.

There are well paying jobs out there that are good companies to work for but majority are pants. A lot want there monies worth and a lot more and they get people willing to do as at the moment supply is still a lot higher than demand.
