Corgi Gas Earnings

u make i laugh

[markfxy]

had a leaflet through the door from a training center stating that you could earn £90.00 an hour as a plumber thats £720 a day which comes to £187,200 per year verified by reports from the daily mail/express so it must be true, personally i wouldnt get out of bed for that sort of money

Yeah thats right ,would have to be at least 250k a year to get me out of bed, what with the price of fuel these days, filling up the Bentley is becoming rather expensive

According to a recent 'State of the Trade' survey we carried out, the median hourly rate was £40/hour for gas work and £33/hour for plumbing work.

These figures relate to the south of England.

We have done a survey for the last few years to give our customers an idea of the 'going rate' in the area.

If I remember correctly, last years rates were £35/hr for gas and £30/hr for plumbing.

The range was wide though.

I think the lowest rate was about £16/hour and the highest was about £70/hour.

Oops, sorry!

I don't have a clue how those two posts got merged

Oh, ffs!!!!!!!!!

40quid an hour. if thats a company then id say yes thats right, they have to pay fuel, head office, pensions, sick pay etc, seems alot for a one man band, that 120quid for 3 hours work, youd only need to work one long day to make a decent living?????????????????????
i presume these are the rates for cowboy outfits who charge when they turn up , picking up materials etc and string it out
if these are genuinne one man bands then it seems extreem.

people need to know that there are big overheads for plumbers, a company chargin 40quid have alot to pay out.

if someone wants a career change then they should consider if their current role includes pension, set hours, promotion, sick pay etc, a higher hourly rate isnt everything.

i worked for myself for a while getting alot more money, but if i had no work for 2/3 days that ate into my monthly earnings, people need to realise that the work isnt a given
