Prices compared?

[djob]

Hello I've not been plumbing long, I'm working on price work for a firm that only take on large contracts with major developers working on new builds. I was just curious to how different these prices compare to other price work firms, & also how it differs from working on the books for a larger company to working by yourself / for yourself. Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity,

Are these the prices you get paid for labour on theses items?

Oz- Plumber

 

[Killy Bing]

Are they their list of prices or one that you have made yourself?

 

[IDCHAPPY]

You can come and work for me at those prices :lol:

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i read it as it is what the company are paying them

 

[djob]

That's just labour? That's the prices for the company I work for.. It's all very easy I'm just not sure on what everyone else would expect to be paid for these sort of jobs. Please list to labour prices you'd expect to be paid for labour..

Hmmm, I don't think would be fitting a boiler for £60!

 

[Roger Welton]

And we wonder why stuff gets lashed in so roughly. Piecework never ensures quality, just quantity.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

£8 for a radiator...... crazy 🙁

 

[Ermintrude]

I wouldn't open my l eyes for those prices.

 

[Rickster123]

Pipe work per meter £1?! Seriously?

 

[Ermintrude]

Pipe work per meter £1?! Seriously?

We pay 7.50 per meter

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Pipe work per meter £1?! Seriously?

Maybe you stick it to the wall with chewing gum? :lol:

 

[Rickster123]

And if you've not been plumbing long why are you 2nd fixing boilers?

 

[Marka1411]

I was going to ask what quals you had if your doing some of the work mention if you haven't been at it long??

I wouldn't bother for them prices… you would be killing yourself trying to earn a good wage!

 

[djob]

Seriously it's worked out per meter at the office with the send sheets with prices on.. On average 2/3 bed house with bathroom & clockroom just for pipe runs and drops, not including bringing pipework to point a house can get you about £200.. This would take under a day.

 

[djob]

I've not said I've ever fitted a boiler, I'm asking about these prices as that's the prices I'd be on. I'm starting my gas in 3 months

 

[djob]

I've not said I've 2nd fixed a boiler, I just asked about prices for future preference.

This surely is trolling... Wouldnt waste my time on any more replies to this... Ridiculous...

 

[PlumbersMate]

Guessing its new build prices? Has to be

 

[PlumbersMate]

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

 

[Meady]

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

No this isn't trolling, it's new builds

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

 

[Centralheatking]

There used to be - maybe still a publication called i think 'Spons' or something similar
but basically it was a Q/S guide to how much trades cost - we used for Health
Authority work - like medi-gas - dead easy follow the guide lines per m to install
work out the hours for our men and then add as much as you think they would bear

Dead easy centralheatking

 

[PlumbBobBob]

you can still get spons but it's not cheap http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...eld-keywords=spons 2014&sprefix=spons,aps,290

 

[IDCHAPPY]

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

 

[Centralheatking]

Haha - I have just found it Mech and Electrical cost £142 but when you quote to
big outfits this is what they expect to recieve Centralheatking

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

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

 

[Centralheatking]

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.
