get real mate who can travel to a job lay out dust sheets get in the loft change a valve get back in loft to release bungs clear up dust sheetsHmm!
An employed Plumber in work would usually get about £12 or so an hour or below.
A self employed Plumber under contract work about £14 - £15 per hour or about £600 a week.
A valve replacement should take at max say 2- 4 hours including getting materials, which should then cost a customer about £30 - £60 plus materials.
In practice of course, if you have everything to hand and use bungs to stop the flow then it should take about 1/2 hour at most. Which would mean charging about £10 plus materials.
pretty sure Bernies pulling ya leg there lol
recently did similar job on a sunday afternoon and charged 100. easy job either way but using bungs eliminates problems refilling system.
fair price.
hourly rate is low on a monday but when your first job of the week is friday morning its gonna be considerably higher lolYou cant work out annual salary for a plumber based on hourly rate, unless your a journo. The only plumbers I know that do 40 plus hours week in week out are the ones who have been established in an area for 10 years plus. I have been busy since june, but at the start of the year I was not. I could spend one week doing 50-60 paid hours and the next 3 doing 15-20.
Turning into a bit of a troll are we Bernie ?
£40 an hour infact using your figures works out at $ £48.000
On jobbing works out of 8 hrs you look to book about 5hrs the rest is traveling,getting to and from jobs,paper work ect.
5* 40= £200 per day
=£1000 per week
4 weeks Holiday = 48 weeks left = £48,000
A fair yearly salary I think
The fact most plumbers work more hours and increase there income is up to them,so yes leaving the house at 7.30pm and getting home at 8.00pm
six days a week and the odd Sunday,only having maybe 2 weeks holiday,gives them the right to earn a good yearly wage
And taking a cheap snip at fellow tradesmen, using the polish plumbers taking the work jab,I would have thought a bit below you,I Know alot of good ,fair pricing tradesmen,who lost a lot of work because of their underpricing,this was before the recession
Hmm!
Nice to know you under value the British Plumbers value so much
Now lets be honest its got nothing to do with Plumbing really, if a man can be a
Plumber and only get £14 per hour. How do Plumbers justify £40 per hour?
