thought i share a little homework with you!

[REDSAW]

been asked to quote this with a £600 boiler!
dont matter where you are in country or what you charge, but based on the info and pics..whats your estimate?
forget the bathroom. you can see water supplies and gas from pics, guess rest.

customer has just started 'flipping houses' hes not a bad customer of mine so not going to be too rude to him as he is a 36 year old doctor in computers!
i will share what he wants me to charge him after a few inputs. this is his second project under £100k and his first made him £10k after 6 months! gave him an estimate this afternoon but now changed boiler posistion to another room.
enjoy!!


1. Remove and plumb out radiator as not required. As a set of double doors being installed in its area. As below, the wall with the 2 windows. Used to be external wall but now house has extension on.
2. Plumb in new radiator on the wall under the 2 wall lights.

1. Plumb in new radiator on the blank wall. Remove and plumb out radiator under 2 windows as not required, as above.

£63 plus vat (£75.60) for me for a LL boiler and 1 appliance (local only). Fires are an extra £34.
Probably why i only do about a dozen a year.

i wont do labour only!!

he can supply rads and suite, possibly boiler, minimal loss that way, but if they go wrong its his problem!.
the rest i supply and mark up or not interested.

Nor would I ordinarily, but it all depends on your situation.

How much would you roughly charge for a combi swap in a loft and external condense run of about 4m? Excluding cost of boiler.

As much as i think I can get away with.

Ha ha, just think I'm pricing myself out of work and want a rough guide to go by. It's one of the hardest parts I've found working for myself is pricing jobs.

Normally people are working on about £600 labour and materials excluding boiler

Technically maximum external condense run in 32mm is 3 metres, it is with Vaillants and Worcesters anyway. Just being an awkward because I'm very hungover and grumpy.

I think that's building regs, but who takes any notice of them?
