hi lads,
Of course I am not gas qualified just yet but I am working alongside a qualified engineer.
I have got quite a few customers which would like to change the an vented system.
Current system vented system:
- 20 years old heat only boiler - located in hallway cupboard
- old cold water tank - opposite the boiler in another cupboard.
- gas pipe located in hallway reduced 15mm
New install:
Cheap boiler for around £700-£800 vokera
Location kitchen wall / plasterboard
Needs a plume kit
Gas needs supplied to kitchen ( digged into the floor and then fixed to kitchen wall )
Gas needs upgrading because gas hob will be first T off and I believe it won't be suffienct enough afterwards so we will upgrade it to 22mm to the boiler.
Kitchen units need to come out and put back.
New pipework installation
Filter and scale reducer
Power flush
i just would like to know a guide line for such a conversion in terms of labour money .
One last question to you guys:
I always get the customers which want to change boilers or systems and now I have found another guy who seems pretty alright.
But one thing disturbs me: yesterday my customer asked me to check the old boiler once more as a previous installer capped the gas off based on carbon monoxide. However I have given the job to my mate to double check for her. He went out and checked the boiler and yes it needs replacing no question.
Now, he took her details and email address instead of dealing with me and giving me the quote for the boiler job. Am I wrong with thinking it shouldn't be like this? I basically would not think of stuff like this taking someone's customer and forward the quote though ...
I called him afterwards and said please forward the quote to me so I can send it off to her and went like : I have got the details I'll send it.
Wtf / it's my customer and I need to earn money on it as well or am I wrong?
He also offered to work with him together but then again 50/50 isn't true ?
