Working for kitchen fitters

[Scott_D]

Does anybody work for kitchen fitter for the gas bits?

I am trying to pick up more work and am going to meet a couple tomorrow.
Just trying to work out a bit of a price list to give them.

Disconnections
cut, cap, test, visual of other appliances £60

Connect new hob
new isolation valve and a bit of pipework £85

Connect new cooker
new cooker hose and bayonet £85

If you’re working on a blank canvas all the time or no units in place then I’d say fair but if you’re working after then I’d up the hob and oven install a bit

The biggest problem that I found, so quickly dropped that type of work, is that they expect you to be their at a moments notice. Or they accuse you of holding up the job. It is also a pain working around other guys doing their thing. Then there is parking. Typically you will find all available parking taken, so you end up carrying kit a distance.
Finally, builders seem to think that your bill should only be due when THEY get paid. Absolutely do not go down that route.
I am not saying don’t go for the work, just make sure you have discussed and agreed all the nonsense. THEN you can work out what you need to charge- and your list is way too low, IMO.
Good luck
