i do a no thrills fit in Plymouth at £50
Cold source must be within 1 meter so literally tee into cold supply straight through wall to tap.

If they want the extra valves then yes its higher cost .
 
£50-80 depends on fixing location, pipe access and a working stop-cock.

Seriously?
You mean if they want job done properly the have to pay more?
No wonder guys charging proper rates for a proper job struggle to get these jobs.
 
I currently charge £80 that's £30 materials and £50 labour allowing 2 hours
And try to explain to customers that it's a professional finish upto the current regs,
Not the cheap DIY kit that's not wras approved.
 
You won't get any outside tap fitted in London for less than £100 £90 is competitive and rate price even if it took 15 minutes.
 
Outside taps are a pain in the arse...

Working under a sink (never emptied even though they knew you were coming)
Hardly any space to tee off, plus working under a sink is just a pure pain!
Old stop tap dosent turn off, or it weeps at the gland when touched!
Gotta get power tools in & extension lead maybe...

I want 80 quid at least for the hassle... We all get 60 Ish for a boiler service which is a doodle so why bust a gut for 30 or 40...

101% agree with that plus the audacity to do the clear away after.. I'd be defo £100 from start no less. Otherwise it's no common sense.

Well i won't lose any sleep over a service valve or check valve ,as per usual upto the customer easy money which nigh on always leads to a bigger job kerching!!!
 
outside tap is about 1/2 hr job at cost of £40

remove kitchen window..1/2 hr
twist tap spout 180 deg...... 3.2 secs.....
...........sorted

Labour £72 including VAT, Parts £20-£25 ish all in. That's based on the tap going right outside on the other side of the cavity wall from the kitchen sink or another cold water pipe.
 
I'm based in South Manchester and we charge £75 for a basic outside tap, pipe sleeved/check/isolation and drain off internal. Assuming cold pipework is within the location internally.
I must also add that I too have attended numerous split hose type installs and the odd self cutting type that has failed drastically.
As with everything you get what you pay for.
