I guess if you have the enthusiasm for it you could make decent money but it would be good graft 🙂

It is a hard days graft, still get time for two half hour breaks though. Never leave any later than 3.30 - 4.00 and you don't have to worry about chasing pay or going round pricing for jobs

That will be new build prices, some of the prices are a tad low but roughly there. You all say that but you can hang 20 radiators by 11oclock on site earning yourself £200 🙂

As above you can earn a grand easy and you don't have to work late at all

Just to add worked price on new builds this time last year was clearing well over grand a week every week and in the van by 3.30 almost every day

If pipes are already there I can hang 5 an hour easily, and level, once on the flow. All depends on what pipe and where the tails are lol

and I'm not fast by any stretch

All the sites I work on it's always two 10mm Hep20 pipes coming out of a 1st fix triangle.. The valves have a chrome elbow with pushfit for the 10mm so it's very basic and quick

You do a lot price work Meady?
i enjoyed it while I was there, bit repetitive but good money and simple enough once you get your routine

On this type of contract -its all about hours they provide the stuff. So We get phoned they
offer the number of hours with a spec - we say bye 2/3x and then they offer something worth turning up for .

Then when we turn up in our Transits we tell them the hours are not enough and we are going home cause we can do more dosh doing domestic c/h - they think and agree usually.

Usually my lot 'use' all the fittings and pipe thats left over - on their private jobs

When we do hospitals with empty wings - there is no lodge cause they have beds
and guess what ? CHk

you can still get spons but it's not cheap Amazon.co.uk: spons 2014

Quick & easy, these developers don't care. As long as their pockets are full.

This isn't the case, this is only for site work, new builds. This is just labour cost for installation on a large scale. The actual prices that my company charge the developers is obviously a lot more than they the pay me. If a custard comes onto this site & expects to go by these prices they are not worth working for.

Agreed. New build or not.

Shifting to the pub.
