Commercial price work (prices) advice!

Hi all. I just wondered whether any of you are currently doing any site work on a price? Only on the plumbing side no gas. Things like cylinder installs, 1st fixing and 2nd fixing. I know this will vary across the country, I’m based in the midlands. Any advice would be helpful. Cheers
