done much installing yourself? your talking about sacking decent men here, who ve went back to put things right and then you sacked them? you could end up with a sore face treating men like that. you would if you tried that up here anyway.
Any idea how much the fitters are getting per system ?
just had an agency send me the prices they re offering for contract work with a national utility co. (not BG)
additional pipe - £7/3m copper LOL , thats alright if you ve got miles of straight runs , but when your working in occupied houses, moving furniture,lifting carpets, floorboards, checking joists, forming crossovers cutting in tees, tieing in existing branches, you can see where i m going here, £7 a length is taking the hit or a miss
pay fitters decent money, instead of peanuts, and the quality of the work will rise.
there s 4 man squads doing full systems in a day up here,up to 10 rads all copper, 15mm to rads, combi, gas upgrade. 2 fitters , a joiner , and a labourer . they re getting £450 a system , £150 ea fitter, £100 joiner and £50 labourer . sounds allright but its head down , backside up from 7.30 in morn till 7,8 or 9 at night, with up to an hour and half travelling each way. fitters are knocking their pans in for a £10 an hour , can see whythe gas upgrade gets swerved and the buckshee copper yadded
, the squads don t get the scrap cylinders , fat cats even want that now.
