hi there I think your price is very competitive how long have you allowed for labour?

 

[oz-plumber]

Are you for real?

 

[cypher007]

sorry im the client not the plumber 😉 .

 

[cypher007]

just made some changes to the quote as I left in pressurise heating system. ive asked the plumber to leave this as it is.

Are you doing it for someone or is this a quoted price from someone?

Given previous posts he has a price from someone to do it

 

[cypher007]

correct im the client this is a price from the plumber.

 

[lame plumber]

personally at that price, I wouldnt let anyone in the door as you know its going to be a botch up

We don't discuss prices on an open forum generally, but that price is very cheap. Unless he has misquoted/got his sums wrong, I'd be a bit worried about the quality of work from someone who works for so little.

something's not right

Quoting jobs is an art that I need help with lol

Quote too much they run a mile, quote cheap ya get accused of being a cowboy haha fine margins

 

[SimonG]

Its not a question of too much or too little, it is what it is. The trick is in knowing what 'it' is 🙂


I dont see any mention in the estimate of either the discharge or notification.

when I originally posted reply I thought it was a plumbers quote that's why I asked about labour time .Think this guy has quoted materials only with no labour involved or stupidly forgotten to add labour unless op is trying it on..eh.....brum

 

[REDSAW]

thats the parts /materials price surley!!

250lt tank/exp vessel = £800-900

more like £1800

Or maybe hes just buying work to get by, The main reason a lot of small half decent company's who have to quote sensibly are going under.
