Discuss combi to combi £800 fitted in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
This advert has been in our local newspaper for a few weeks nowView attachment 4413 It surely can't be done for these prices.
cheapest worcester combi is junior 24, costs around £800 with flue & clock. no ones gonna work for nothing.
it'll be a get a foot in the door price, extra for pipe, will need flushing, chemicals, take away the waste and anything else they can get away with.
yeah, advert says vokera or worcester, there might be a chance of doing it with a vokera but your certainly not getting a worcester. dont know how much the cheapest vokera combi is but if his prices are genuine then his profits must be low.HE comb's are available in your area from about £400-600, the advert doesnt say he is fitting a worcester, look in the Glasgow Evening Times and you will see a car for sale with tax and MOT for £500 which is legal but it wont be as good as the Lamborgini spyder my son has just bought, but different cars for different people
i take it you bought it for him, this teaching game must be paying, i must be in the wrong jobHE comb's are available in your area from about £400-600, the advert doesnt say he is fitting a worcester, look in the Glasgow Evening Times and you will see a car for sale with tax and MOT for £500 which is legal but it wont be as good as the lambourgini spider my son has just bought, but different cars for different people
mostly leaflets done about 3/4 of my local area now and starting to pick up. i've got six jobs lined up to do in the next two weeks. got a few regular custards now and getting some referrals as well. busiest i've been for a while and long may it continue in an upwards direction.whats your advertising strategy? and is it working?

aye, i wonder who's the stupidest, the installer who's running the advert or the punters that are falling for it.there will always be people who fall for these adverts
All I can say if you can supply and Finnish the instal for that money I will give you a job
He'll end up wasting his own time as surely the punters are not that stupid to fall for this advert
aye, i've seen the 3hr boiler swappers, most leave right mess.there are tons of guys who can do a combi swap in 3-5 hrs so £300-400 for that kind of money is not too bad, wait till tam sees this thread he used to do boilers in half a shift, mind you that was in the 70's when he was fit

You may have missed the £ was replaced by %if your working on less than a £200 profit margin, you would need to be doing them in 3-5hrs better to charge more and spend longer at it.
customers like to think there money has been well spent. stay longer, charge more and everyones happy.Charge more and stay longer??
Better to get to the next job I say.
sit in the van and have a siesta then pop back in later for a brew etc etc till 4 o clock thencustomers like to think there money has been well spent. stay longer, charge more and everyones happy.
thats the key words hear good price for the job & make it lastI worked on the EAGA contract a couple of years back, I reckon for a straight combi swap, 4 hours is average, thats all on my own, no flushing, just drain down, cut off pipework, remove and fit new boiler then repipe, fill and test. If you are taking longer on price work you aint gonna earn any money, many a time I used to fit my next days boiler too and have the next day off.
I must say though that if i have a good price in for the job, I make it last the day.
when the price no good the jobs no goodthats the key words hear good price for the job & make it last
maybe the boilers fell of a lorry£800 minus 20% tax etc. Leaves him £640, it is impossible to be doing for that. So it must be a con, either they are not Worcester or Vokera or price is wrong.
when the price no good the jobs no good
when the price no good the jobs no good
yeah, i know what you mean , a sign of the times i guess.Thats nowadays as I work for myself and do now contract or subby work.
But you cannot be on a combi swap more than half a day when working for companies. I know guys who are doing combi swaps for firms now for as little as £120, and they reckon other firms are paying less.
