Installing new central heating pipework, 10 rad system.

[SafeGasInstall]

OMG just re-read your post, 2 days!! If your pipes are all straight want to subby for me?? I will just kick back and let you get on and charge 5 or 6 days worth of labour. Am I the slowest plumber in the world??

you must be mate ...... last year working for HA I have fitted between 5 to 6 boilers per week , and none of my work was fitted from the drive way if you know what i mean all pipe straight and all soldered joint cleaned

its about 2 k round my way for job like that

with materials 1.4K ???

have a look on my fb page

you must fit them in the loft for when you commission your system , watch pipework in loft not to create your self a air locks ,also pipe sizing too very important as you will have 10 drops , and you only going to have a 15/60

Weird. I will chuck them in. Genuinly never had a problem with airlocks even on loft pipework when commissioning any high pressure heating system. The air is all pushed into the rads on filling up. Maybe I have just been lucky though, I can see one day me coming stuck not fitting them so I will take your advice for sure.

8 days for a man and boy seems a bit of a stretch having not seen the job it's hard to say though personally I'd be around 3.6 with materials for
just me like I say off the top of my head without seeing it. Plus I'm guessing there is an existing system in so you will be getting the scrap from it.

Nah, they are scrapping everything.

I will come and work for you pal no problem , £200 cash +b&b

Yah, it most likely is a bit of a stretch at 8 days if I'm being honest. It's a fixed price for the labour though. Do you guys factor in your time spent quoting and designing the system into your labour costs though?

 

[hammers4spanner]

yep its about a £500 labour change over here for back boiler here

why i dont bother with domestic now rates are pants

H/A only for domestics at least home by twelve or so

I can definitely buy a boiler a day, I've seen that done with my own eyes but can you really do a 10 rad system pipework in 2 days??

No i dont just make it up as i go along with domestics dont even bother looking at them any more

Seems a bit in the steep side, but iff you can get it fair play. We should all be on that sort of money. Eight days is a little long to, me and my old dad would walk it in four days.

that is cheap ? i was paid about £360 by the HA for same work + meterage for pipe work and other extras ......
I would not change a back boiler to new location for less then 1k honestly
