Got called to an emergency where an old style double panel radiator (the heavy type) had been screwed to a stud wall, over the years it had worked loose of the plaster board screws and all of a sudden just dropped off, turned up customer had pushed some heavy furniture against it to keep it in place. Furniture was removed and pipes promptly burst, I got wet, plugged split pipe (with a pencil and PTFE!!!) and drained down. Just priced up the replacement for them including the two hours of wetness I went through and wondered if you thought this price was reasonable;

1 Single panel Radiator (4083 BTU)
Rad Valves
Pipe work alteration as they had to be capped in the cavity wall (pipe and associated fittings)
x200 inhibitor
4hours labour (including initial getting wet call out)

336.22 Total job price

I've priced it according to how much my materials will cost and to how much I charge per hour, but just wondered what you all thought for the price.

Thank you once again in advance

Yeah thought so, but it's hard pricing up sometimes. Especially when its an elderly customer. Got it down to £294 as got a deal on some items and he's happy as larry.

Cheers.
 
sounds ok to me
leave your ad board out side for a week,and then it vanishes just like mine a couple of weeks ago.tea leafs
 
At the end of the day it's what your happy with ! £35 on this one could be £10 on next if customer happy then fine if he was-not happy with price then you would-not be doing it.
