As said, there's Subbie work out there. But be careful who you work for.
i honestly think thats Chinese whispers.from what i gather if you do both eco and GD then its over 10 grands worth of paperwork hassle , i am not sure what the rates are direct from the energy companies tho
One man band outfits are just getting killed to bits with this
i honestly think thats Chinese whispers.
you can get pas 2030 software for ÂŁ300.00 plus VAT just need a agreeable missus or someone willing to do the paperwork. thats why i think we should get together as a collective and cut all the rest out.
thats exactly what they said down plumb center today , they said since this has properly started kicking off that one man bands work has died a death .
not thought through at all this scheme
Seems crazy the government are trying to stimulate growth & employment etc, then bring in the green screw you over deal, which takes a huge chunk of work away from many firms / self employed and only benefits the likes of British gas & big players...
I heard the scheme is initiated & funded by the big energy companies, so its them who want the install work generated... It's there way of getting rid of the little guys, because they cannot compete on price, but we can't compete on bull@@t like pas2030... I don't know what that is, and don't really care. All I know is I don't want it!
i hope they scrap the whole thing, a boiler scrap page type scheme would be more welcome, and easier for customer & installers alike...
I hate this idea! It'll kill off a lot of small businesses who rely on doing the 'crap' jobs big business usually turn away from! I hope and pray that the legitimate small businesses working about can be gifted enough work to weather the storm!! had a landlord customer call me wanting me to replace a boiler under ECO! Alas, I said, all I can offer is a check after install and maybe a magna to protect the system after install! Least I get something out of it and maybe the CP12 next year? ECO potentially is going to cripple the small businesses in this industry that rely on the servicing the Shylark Landlords out there!!
As said several times, why not do subbie work. Be selective & ensure you get paid.
Of course if you're a course cowboy & spend half your day with your nose in a book or your course notes, you'll be too slow to make any money doing subbie work.
I know plenty guys that are only on the GSR, van & tools & are making a very good living. So don't have a wishbone, get a backbone, get our there & find the work.

I didn't go self employed to be busting a gut for some crappy day rate to make some big national company plenty of money! I may as well go stack shelves.
well thats your issue right their 'ÂŁ130' combi swap
devalued trade
ÂŁ130 and no issue with that,
then you state can only get ÂŁ130 further in post???
then in earlier post
I know of guys that are getting ÂŁ130 per combi swop, finished by 2.00pm & out fixing boilers or doing CP12s for the remained of the day.
recomend 4 hour flush on new boiler for starters
just because you wish to do them for devalued rate doesnt mean we all wish to rip ourselves off , cant see a vet doing half priced works during lambing season just because he can be doing something else by two !!!!
had an interesting phone call late last night friends girlfriend has had a 'free boiler' which now they say it is all but 'free' .
Anyway aparently the install was a joke turned up yesterday boiler didn't fit and wrecked some cupboard , gas undersized and no confidence in the install now so have been asked to give independant report on the installation on behalf of mates girlfriend.
a sign of things to come possibly
Hour getting gear out of van lol you serious
Analyse, burner pressures gas rate same time and how long does it take to explain couple buttons !
Besides tennant are idiots and cant even read half the time, next job five mins away materials all rhere waiting
Up your game and its goid coin still wouldnt work fir 130 thats a joke
the green deal is funded through the cust paying via energy bill so it is not funded in fact ists more costly than getting loan or putting it on your mortgage .Oh and this stays with your house so if you sell it the new owner takes up your debt ,.
also hearing that this free boiler eco is not free either !!!
also i am hearing that payments are slow
