Ex vessels were always piped out of the inlet control set , but as the years have gone by , tee-ing into cold feed is the done thing

Out of curiosity, roughly what would you guys charge (labour only) to fit a system like this.. all new heating and cold/hot water pipework throughout, 10 rads, boiler/cylinder and all controls and new gas run, about 16 meters.

About 6k

Around 10k with materials

Originally 4.5 inc parts, parts increased to 3.5 so 5.5.. can’t exactly now say I want more for labour.. POOH!!! I was gonna charge her a day rate for my 12 days which will come to 3k.. GUTTED!

Just under 150 a day for London jay is too cheap

Would say min £300 for a day in London area but I can't say as I don't do anything / price for anything there

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Wasn't too far off stabbing the parts at 4K 😀

Day rate is £250 for plumbing, £350 for gas.. I’ll just have to put this one down to experience and move on!! If I can...😱

Anything like you've just done with both bits (plumbing and gas ) half / middle your charges

So your day rate for a job like you've just done £300 etc

I think I’ll just have to say it took longer than expected and charge £300 a day, don’t want to completely lose out here!!

Did you quote for wiring it up ?

 

[jaydebruyne]

Did you quote for wiring it up ?

Lol no.. I just thought that’s a part of it all. I just looked at my original quote and I said I based my quote on 6 days work which may extend and materials may also increase so that’s good!! Thank %#^* I said that!! Phew how I thought I’d get that done in 6 days is beyond me!!!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Would add a bit on that to even it out etc

Could loose £600 on electrics

And pays to have a good set of t and c

Also your lab would of been right if it was 6 days just over 300 a day
