Hey. 1st post so sorry if it's been asked/answered before.
Gas safe engineer for 13 years but through my firm which I still work for. 3 months ago I applied for my own registration number so I can do minor gas works outside of my normal working hours. Now out of my probation period. The advice I'm seeking is that I've had a friend who asked to have a new boiler fitted. Change from a non condensing system to a condensing boiler system. Boiler going in the same place. Use the same flue hole. Run condensation, upgrade 15m of gas pipe to 28mm, full power flush and fit A magnaclean filter. He will buy everything so I only charge labour. That's what I'm struggling with. I haven't a clue how to charge for something like this. Do I charge hourly? Is there a rough guide as to what to charge that someone could help me with.
Any advice appreciated
