Are you a qualified plumber or a handyman who fancies himself as a plumber?

 

[joe brown]

It depends on what work you are doing. I would charge £40 - £50 for an outside tap and thats with a tap kit, like i said though the work on the wc depends on what you are doing, i take it you mean change the ball valve

10 an hour for a plumber? no thanks! ha syphone shouldnt take you any longer than 30 mins if its a close couple, so i would be changing them for £5 a time

I find the hardest part about changing a siphon on a close couples cistern it getting the cistern off iff the wingnuts have rusted. I'd charge about a tenner an hour or so. keeping in mind you want something for doing it. even say £20 and you provide the material.

£20 including materials? !!!!!


£75 plus materials, lets get real here.

Don't give a price before seeing the job! An outside tap may be required somewhere far from a cold feed and require a lot of piping up, or where the pipework at the rear is difficult to get at!

I was meaning the syphon, if you are just replacing the film washer i wouldnt to £75 but if i was replacing the whole syphon a little more than £20 then. Keeping in mind this guy is just starting out and looking for experience.
