Im moving to hampshire lol
Normally getting around the £900 mark clear profit, sometimes a bit less sometimes a bit more
I get a pretty good uptake on that pricing Shaun, I usually Fit Worcester or Ideal.
I take it you mean after your wage etc, that's a good profit fella, fair play
If everyone kept to the same pricing boundaries it would be great
Exactly that. You are always going to get someone to do it for £150 labour only, but then look at the lash up that the customer gets for that
worcester and baxi for me
i might be missing something but £900 profit?
I usually get upwards of £700 ish if it's a day job, but that's an easy install and not clear profit
Without a powerflush, only a mains and a chemical and a magnetic filter
Usually pipe up the boiler and get it running for a few hrs with the cleaner in it while finishing prv pipe, condense, rf stat etc

What do you pay yourself linkyplumb per day
I would think that is literally a straight swap no gas/ condense run not altering pipe work at all so a 105 off the wall and duotec on.
From the book price at plumb they would make just short of £200 off that.
For a straight swap I'm around £1450 no filter or programmer and I look to make £500 off that. Funnily enough when I started going quiet I dropped to £400 and I haven't won one since.
As I am ltd company, then minimum wage :wink_smile:
I wouldn't fit any without a filter now, no matter how many yrs warranty it's supposed to be
You'll be hard pressed to get a free repair done in the future

Nice one, I see the divi payments are changing in April this year, down to 5k tax free now, then 7.5% after that IIRC

If its flushed well all necessary chems put in and details recorded theyll be hard pushed not to repair.

To be fair you've worked hard to get to that stage. Good on ya mate.
Do your overheads include a speed boat and a Range Rover?
Usually get my boiler kits from Grahams, not a bad deal including filter ,flue and chems
I explain it's a good investment for the customer and it doesn't give the manus much wriggle room to welch on the warranty repair, which they will if they can

Minimum wage in the south of England is like a playboys lifestyle in South Wales!
I can confirm this as the truth
I can go to the cinema, have 5 woodbines, a bag of scrunchies on the way home and still have change from a Tanner
(and yes I did mean tanner not tenner)
Scrunchies? Aren't they hair bands? And aren't tanners people who cure leather? I'm confused.

I've had to google most of swampys post!
One I had yesterday:
£2750 - 20% vat = £2291- £994 materials = £1291 profit after vat, less days money, fuel, few odds of pipe etc. Well over a grand clear profit
And I thought you were Northern
Scrunchies, the bits of batter that don't stick to the fish, sausage, mars bar or whatever esle is in the cupboard
Tanner, sixpence or fortieyth of an old pound
No longer legal tender I believe
And by the way, you'll never cure leather, it's dead

I get the same from plumbs.
But I give them 2 prices with and without the mag clean.
They always go for the mag clean what i add £99 on for supply and fit.
So win win
Yes I appreciate your post but one day hit man is a no from me
There aren't many straight swaps that take longer than a day, done properly as well.

lame plumber
all mine take longer than a day.
I get quite a bit of work from one day installs, replacing blocked pressure sensors, sorting vertical flues with no clips, setting the boilers up correctly so that dont continually cut out Not saying you cant do one properly in a day, but I only work 9 - 4 plus a bit of travelling, but I dont bother with lunch n breaks. So if all you morning/one day installs would like to crack on, it means I will get the repairs and servicing down the line 🙂

Thats quite a crap suggestion really even though your hiding behind a smiley face.
Your basically suggesting that my installs must be in someway inferior to yours ??.
Climb down from your ivory tower and get real. What makes you think your superior or better because you charge more and work slower ???
Are you ex council ???
So far as i can see your overpriced and slow. But bigger fool them if they are prepared to pay for your elite'ist mug to show up [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji1] [emoji15]
