Any where between £1 and£99 then.given the straightforward nature of the termination I would assume that a passing journey to and from another job would command a price of around £20. Ringing a plumber to specifically come round to do this job on a certain day and time automatically esculates the price and will be fitted in as I have said beforehand, from another job.

If you live near a main road you could try waving down a passing plumber van.

I would, but they also charge for stopping and parking up!

You have a low opinion of our profession, try not to let that show when one of us helps you out by safely terminating your gas supply.

But it's OK for one of your profession to be sarcastic without redress from the same profession, I was merely making the point that not all jobs require premium charges. At the end of the day fear and scare mongering (digging up my main supply outside my house and capping off my gas, therefore the kids will starve etc etc etc) will and cannot justify prices which are not in line with the job that requires doing. I reasonable price for a readonable size job is all that customers ask for.

I wasn’t scaremongering.
You descibed an ‘immediately dangerous’ gas situation.
If the national grid are called to attend this, they will cap your gas meter or if no access they will dig up the road to cut you off. It’s for yours and your neighbours safety.

Please read the history of the thread, the only thing that has come off the gas appliance is the cover.
Now that your on, how much would you charge for capping off the gas pipe below the isolator valve, close as possible to the finished floor?

You were asking about disconnect after the isolation valve though, leaving an open end.
I have a minimum charge of £60. It may sound like a lot for an hours work but it’s impossible to make a days wage and cover overheads by doing jobs for £20. I have tried it and quickly realised I was better off employed.

You are charging the same price as a company with fleets of service vehicles, secretary to answer calls and a depot to run. How is that comparable.

Like you say for an hours work will be £60 to make a living surely then you must have other work to earn a readonable living or is reasonable not allowed.
