One day jobs

[Scott_D]

What do you do in this situation?
A job that should take all day but if you hit a snag you will have to return another day for a few hours.
A customer wants new valves on 8 rads and 2 towel rads, drain, do the job, fill, test and balance.
It’s a good days work but if you hit a snag and have to go back it turns into a job that isn’t worth while, price it for a day and a half?

Yep normally allow 2 hours the next day when doing new trvs on a sealed system

or day and a half if it’s gravity / open vent

I’m just looking at it on paper and £650 for new valves on 10 rads seems alot
£300+£150 labour and £250 materials

£65 per rad I would say that’s fine
