call her back and say that you can do it next day saturday morning ! and you will charge her £50.00 and then ring again friday about 8pm just to confirm next days work and say see you in the morning at 7;30-am ! put the phone dawn and go enjoy your self ! when she call to ask you were are you , just say you are sorry and you have forgotten !then re schedule for sunday morning ! when she call asking where are you you just say how sorry you are and then reschedule for next day !
then let as know much she can take of it !!!
You are also undercut by the part timers !! Firemen . shiftworkers etc who get gas safe registered and do jobs for beer and holiday money on their days off . They dont need to make a living its fun money ! Gas safe just take the money from whoever they dont care , so that £350 quote might well be from a bonafide hobby installer
we must have a AGREEMENT TO HAVE MINIMUM CHARGED ON ALL WORK,just like minimum wage thing !!! who can we contact can we not make a agenda our selves
i cover devon/cornwall retirement home for plumbers /gas fitters here .
once you start charging over £400 for labour on boiler change you just as well sit at home all day as will never get work .
I'm based in the same area as you Gaspastemania. I wouldn't install a combi for less than £600 & I have plenty of work. Theres a lot more to it than just price. If you get work from areas such as Salcombe or Dartmouth you can charge a lot more than that as those areas are mainly inhabited by rich Londoners.
There are less affluent areas like some of the rough parts of Plymouth but I'd rather not work there anyway.
I moved to Torbay from Croydon 7 years ago,and I very soon found out that charging London prices meant losing nearly every job I quoted for.when you say £600 you must be including materials aswell im in the SW and you aint gona get near £600 labour only
