swaps (combi to combi)

[Linkyplumb]

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

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I get a pretty good uptake on that pricing Shaun, I usually Fit Worcester or Ideal.

worcester and baxi for me

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Normally getting around the £900 mark clear profit, sometimes a bit less sometimes a bit more

i might be missing something but £900 profit?

 

[jonnyswamp]

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

 

[SimonG]

Yep for an oil swap I price to take out at least 800 to 900.

What do you pay yourself linkyplumb per day

Just seen in the paper 995 combi to combi baxi duo 28 with power flush, that's what made me think

Mines coming out 1840 with Worcester atm

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:

 

[jonnyswamp]

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.

 

[KingDoey]

To be fair you've worked hard to get to that stage. Good on ya mate.

 

[Leo21]

Yes I have overheads that anything less would not cover

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!

Scrunchies? Aren't they hair bands? And aren't tanners people who cure leather? I'm confused.
