Hi all,
I am looking to set up on my own in the very near future and was wondering about something. Can anyone help me please?
What do you consider to be absolutely essential, materials wise, to keep on the van? What would any self respecting plumber never go to a job without?
I mean, I would think everyone has a few ballofixes in the back but would you keep, say, a kitchen sink trap? You might have a few speedfit fittings to get you out of trouble but who's got a male 3/4 copper to iron or 2 inch waste tee?
And what about pipe? Does everyone keep 15, 22, 1 1/2, 1 1/4? Other pipe sizes? Hep?
What's reasonable to say 'I'm gonna need to go to the merchants for that...' for? Do you guys charge your customers for the time you spend going to get these bits or would you say 'I'll pick it up later and come back at another convenient time' and then charge for a second visit?
Looking forward to hearing your replies and thanks in advance.
