you must be mate ...... last year working for HA I have fitted between 5 to 6 boilers per week , and none of my work was fitted from the drive way :) if you know what i mean all pipe straight and all soldered joint cleaned

I can definitely buy a boiler a day, I've seen that done with my own eyes but can you really do a 10 rad system pipework in 2 days??

Yah, it most likely is a bit of a stretch at 8 days if I'm being honest. It's a fixed price for the labour though. Do you guys factor in your time spent quoting and designing the system into your labour costs though?

No i dont just make it up as i go along with domestics dont even bother looking at them any more
 
Seems a bit in the steep side, but iff you can get it fair play. We should all be on that sort of money. Eight days is a little long to, me and my old dad would walk it in four days.

yep its about a £500 labour change over here for back boiler here

why i dont bother with domestic now rates are pants

H/A only for domestics at least home by twelve or so

that is cheap ? i was paid about £360 by the HA for same work + meterage for pipe work and other extras ......
I would not change a back boiler to new location for less then 1k honestly
 
LOL definitely not believing that one. Now you are just trying to wind me up!
 
That was directed at hammer btw not you SGI :)

If you were willing to do that at £200 day rate I would get no end of work for you up here SGI!
 
Yep half day on a bungalow use to work as part of a team doing heat packs 10 plus a week would take us half day to do a bungalow or a flat ,
that was ten year ago tho prob slip a disk now !!!
 
I have helped other plumbers and I am willing to help even Adam , who promise to take me fishing but never did ......:( :( :(

Yah I did - I was joking with you :) Just saying that if you installed these systems for £400 you would never be out of work ever.

when I said piping i did mean running all pipe in loft and clip them and do all drops ,

I am a foreigner but I dont work for nothing like the other immigrants
 
Going back on topic 5 k for 10 rads if your vat registered is probably not that bad
 
Hehe. Ok, we have established that I'm expensive! The weird thing I am noticing though is the more I charge the more booked up I am getting. Seriously. I have upped my prices quite a bit this year and for the first year ever I am booking 3 months ahead.

Hope this gives anyone the confidence to wack on a bit more on your prices.

Will let you know if I get this one!
 
Looks like I have the job lol.
 
It took me and 4 other plumbers to fit a 35kw heat only boiler, 28 - 22 -15mm piping (huge runs) and drill the required holes from room to room and hang 19 rads, 5 days and it was a 12k job
 
8 days to do heating on a bungalow for 2 men - just done one in 2 days all copper drops. can be your apprentice
