Plumber wanted

[KarlBrown]

Hi

I have two full heating systems and a solar thermal system to install in two weeks time. Will pay £160 a day but you will need your own transport, the job is in Lincoln. I'm looking for a plumber to help with the install. If interested contact me by pm.

Kind regards

Karl

way below my getting out of bed fee, took me a while and cost me a lot to learn my trade so you need to pay for my help and others who have the skills and ability. What youll get for that is a bloke with a spanner. Also need it bit more lead time Im afraid

[lame plumber]

What will your roll be in installing them? Will you also be getting £160?

 

[lame plumber]

oooooooooooooh he'll be paying the £10 -12 grand for the kit and get it all popped in for £1600 if he's lucky

He's offering work which is way above what you'd get working for an agency it might come in handy for someone so give him a brake you ungrateful gits

Agreed. Try getting that money from anywhere else other than pricing up your own work.

Not ungrateful just annoyed that people dont value a plumbers skills anymore and are always trying to get someone to do it cheap. Can you survive on £160 a day I know my fixed costs and living expenses are higher than £160 a day, some people need a reality check!

If you are employed and this a nice little job on the side thats one thing, but if your like myself and 10000s of others it isnt realistic, labourers get £100 plus a day and havent any skills to speak of, its time some of you out there realised if you want to be working in 5 years time sensible charging is required of youll just be another shelf stacker in due course.

Your living expenses are based on your earnings! A gas fitter who earns £80 a day slinging Worcester's on the wall for helplink or the council would think £160 was a good rate.

 

[lame plumber]

But a gas fitter working for a company doesnt have any fixed costs to cover, so working for £160 for a cheapskate means that all those self employed engineers are having to fight for a living and cant ever undercut someone who is doing it for pocket money, or do you not understand what being self employed means?

Although I like your comment I do think the replies are reasonable ones.

 

[markfxy]

I dont think the replies are reasonable if you do your own work then the rate is a bit low but for a subbie its the going rate the guy is offering work theres a lot on here that are struggling to find any work let alone at that rate. lameplumbers a fantasist who would like everyone to think he's earning top dollar but he seems to spend more time on here posting than working!

He's asking for a HELPER on a couple of big installs. Not exactly stealing anyone's bread and butter.

If I was giving some down and outer a hand by offering some work alongside me, it certainly wouldn't be any more than £160 lol.

thats two outside tap installs down here!
