Try 10 Simon :smile:
I was working with a chap for a few weeks before i got NVQ and I was getting £100 a day for labouring, the other guys had a few years experience behind them but no formal qualifications and they were earning £200 a day.

A good plumber can work in the dark without thinking :smile:
But even good plumbers need to read the instructions every now and again.

I'm not a full time, work any hours type of plumber but it is my full time job, if that makes sense.
This year started well but the summer was not good.
Just done a calculation and in this financial year I've earned the grand sum of £183.16 per ...
week
(That makes it about £36 a day or £4.88 an hour).
How I'd love to be on £75 a day, let alone more than this. I'm not complaining though, it's just the way things are at present.
Yeah but £36 a day for how many hours work? I guess an average of 1-2. So pro-rata you're onto a cushy number - with plenty of time left to go fishing, write the all american novel or post on a plumbing forum.
thats my goal employing someone to do the admin and deal with moany customers lol
Point your missing is that any one who is busy enough to employ some one full time like you want would already have employed some one for less money as their work built up. If you think its that easy to provide someone with enough work aswell as your self full time then why don't you go self employed and with the 200 per day you think you can get employ someone your self to do the admin that you don't want to do?
I do get the point, every body on here thinks that a Wet plumber is only worth £40 a day, thats £200 a week, I could earn more then that doing 40 hours at mcdonalds or at a warehouse, so no I don't believe it.
100K + boiler bashers £100 a day
100M + wet plumbers £40 a day
100K + boiler bashers £100 a day
10K maybe, GOOD breakdown engineers £150 a day
supply and demand!
your bascially the equivelent to a 3rd or 4th year apprentice, you can do the wet stuff but not the advanced stuff, so your only going to get as much as what they get imho
I agree but would a level 3/4 Apprentice have full driving license, own van, own insurance and own tools?
if i were you, ask jase if he can get you a job.lol.Fair point!
344.6 direct working hours
At least 400 hours for travel, chatting to customers, "could you just jobs", etc
And, in case you're wondering
Charge to customer per hour: £31.51
Out of this I receive £26.11 per hour gross (labour plus profit on stock sold) (£31.51 minus travel time costs)
Taken down to £16.66 per hour after some costs e.g. motor and travel, advertising, sundries, etc, etc
This will come down further due to remaining costs not yet taken into account. For example, depreciation, office use, insurance, clothing, etc as they're calculated at the end of the year.
This takes the £16.66 down to say to around £10.80 per hour.
£10.80 x 7.5 = £81 per day
= £405 per week = £19,440 (48 weeks)
£19.5k is the maximum because we all have days where we're ill, family commitment, customer not in or cancelling at the last minute, delivery late, etc, etc.
I've not typed this to prove a point - just I've never worked out these figures before despite taking time to record the necessary information!
