Cheers mate
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
Not bad for your first one bud few errors but overall a tidy job your gonna struggle lagging your pipework ,next time space your pipes off the wall a bit and a little further apart . cheers kop
What errors can you see kop? Other than the discharge which I sorted today.
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

Jesus.. grossly under quoted then
What did you quote?
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

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 ?
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!!!
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

Yeah I need to sort that out ASAP!! You charge £600 to wire it up?? No wonder I’m skint lol
On a full system yes day to day and a bit and materials
Want me to break one of our quotes down for you ?
Yes please mate!!
np will write something up tom
Cheers Shaun, much appreciated!! If I’m ever up in Wales I’ll shout you a few beers 😉
Lol I’ll bring a mars bar 😛
Is it empty?
As in the property, at the moment yes
Have fed hot/cold and heating pipework through to bathroom which I’m also doing separately. Loft bathroom already done by a loft firm, I just had to connect it by cylinder.
