Installing new central heating pipework, 10 rad system.

[cr0ft]

you must be mate ...... last year working for HA I have fitted between 5 to 6 boilers per week , and none of my work was fitted from the drive way 🙂 if you know what i mean all pipe straight and all soldered joint cleaned

I can definitely buy a boiler a day, I've seen that done with my own eyes but can you really do a 10 rad system pipework in 2 days??

 

[hammers4spanner]

Yah, it most likely is a bit of a stretch at 8 days if I'm being honest. It's a fixed price for the labour though. Do you guys factor in your time spent quoting and designing the system into your labour costs though?

No i dont just make it up as i go along with domestics dont even bother looking at them any more

 

[Leo21]

Seems a bit in the steep side, but iff you can get it fair play. We should all be on that sort of money. Eight days is a little long to, me and my old dad would walk it in four days.

yep its about a £500 labour change over here for back boiler here

why i dont bother with domestic now rates are pants

H/A only for domestics at least home by twelve or so

that is cheap ? i was paid about £360 by the HA for same work + meterage for pipe work and other extras ......
I would not change a back boiler to new location for less then 1k honestly

Yah I did - I was joking with you 🙂 Just saying that if you installed these systems for £400 you would never be out of work ever.

Going back on topic 5 k for 10 rads if your vat registered is probably not that bad

With no boiler?!

 

[hammers4spanner]

sorry all materials and labour

 

[cr0ft]

Hehe. Ok, we have established that I'm expensive! The weird thing I am noticing though is the more I charge the more booked up I am getting. Seriously. I have upped my prices quite a bit this year and for the first year ever I am booking 3 months ahead.

Hope this gives anyone the confidence to wack on a bit more on your prices.

Will let you know if I get this one!

 

[cr0ft]

Looks like I have the job lol.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Now book a b&b and I will sub the job from you for 2k and you can just happily make 500 profit

Sounds like a plan.

It took me and 4 other plumbers to fit a 35kw heat only boiler, 28 - 22 -15mm piping (huge runs) and drill the required holes from room to room and hang 19 rads, 5 days and it was a 12k job

 

[buckley plumb]

8 days to do heating on a bungalow for 2 men - just done one in 2 days all copper drops. can be your apprentice

 

[Destroyer2813]
