What type of work do you take on?

I mainly do:
Heating and bathroom installs on full house renovations (as a subby)
Boiler changes
Service boilers I have fitted and some gas safety checks for private landlords

Bathrooms.
Oil boiler installs and repairs.
General plumbing.
Underfloor heating.
Unvented.
Tiling.

Do my own joinery work and plastering.

I have an electrician I use for all the bathroom electrics etc and I pass on any gas work to a guy I know and he passes me oil work.

We do need build site work, normally 1 big project per year. Then do anything from tap washer changes to full house re-pipes for domestic clients and some work for small builders too.

Currently trying to expand the business but struggling to find good plumbers who work to a decent standard. Having to turn work away at the moment constantly, but would rather do that than have people do sub-standard work and ruin my reputation.

Mainly boiler repairs/parts changing, thermostats, odd zone valve, rad leaks, remove and refit rads for plasterers. Might get the odd poke and go safety check. Very monotonous work.

For the next few months I will spend a lot of time on our new home doing a full renovation , so paid work for the moment will be *****, however
I will cover the odd boiler swap , Viessmann boiler breakdowns and services .
unvented etc and general plumbing leaks and maintenance.
Well , thats the plan at least lol

Which jobs make the most money?
Boiler changes for me but it’s hard graft. A easy day of 3/4 services is always nice

 

[SimonG]

Oil boiler installs bring in the biggest profit.

General household installations from a minor leak to full bathroom installs including tiling, plastering etc. Some landlord work which is more trouble than it's worth but now have a new contact who's got me busy doing basic plumbing in commercial premises around Liverpool. I actually get a lot of painting work too which helps break the routine now and again. No job is the same for me which is the way I like it. Love the fault finding side of things.

No domestic kitchens!

Im a qualified electrician and 24yr experienced plumber. I do install and maintenance work, generally for commercial but some domestic as well if the client doesn't seem like a penny pinching knob end. Im most happy doing 3 or 4 small jobs a day that need some fault finding, I find it quite satisfying.
