Cast Iron External Stack

If I can do it in 2 days, all the better for the price. So you're probably right but I wanted to give myself a bit of leeway.

Will let you know the outcome ;-)

Hi, If you have picked up the grinder and bits and pieces by 09-00 hrs and on site. I would expect the wc to be out and new hole knocked through by 11-00 hrs, cutting and inserting branch and a bit of 110 mm plastic through wall say hour and a half max. The internal side may require waiting for tilers etc to finish so it difficult to comment on. Surly plumbing training must include dealing with existing systems that are not plastic and asking clients to pay an apprentice/trainee £450 to learn how to do it is a bit strong. Personally i would be looking at a days work at £300 and get the punter to ditch the redundant material. This is not a direct swipe at you but the system that fails the trade and makes the cost of having a few plumbing alteration done for house holders cost prohibitive. Good Luck

Thanks for the input. I have given him a list of materials that i need and he wanted to go buy them himself and hire the equipment himself, so all I need concern myself about is completing the work and getting paid.

So I have now told him give me dayrate £120, said I predict 3 days work, just to be on the safe side.

This job has changed now, the stack isn't being altered.

Customer now wants me to alter the Clay soil pipe that runs underground to the drain outside. I gotta kango round it and carefully cut it back. Pain in the arse but I'm thinking is not cheap either.

Quite simply, the old loo is a old Low Level WC. Because of the projection of the flush pipe, obviously is sits a bit forward in the room. I have to move the underground outlet back maybe 150mm.
