Same day boiler repairs

[Stanios]

And if you diagnose a part to replace and that doesnt end up fixing the boiler do you carry on changing labour for subsequent repair /try?

Been lucky lately and haven't had anything go afterwards

But get what your saying like a pcb and then the fan Goes

But normally half the labour cost

You sound like me. I'm a right sucker for an OAP. My wife laughs at me now the second I say old boy or old dear. I normally don't make anything on parts but as stated on another thread. That's because I am top end on my labour. So normally it evens out.

What's top end for your labour as not putting percentage on parts doesn't make business sense.

£75 call out. £60 per hour after that. Plus parts if I start putting a mark up on my parts as well my turn over will mean I need to be vat registered and don't want to do that yet. Once I am vat registered I will put a mark up on my parts. But not yet.

Crikey, now I understand why no need for a markup on parts. Good on you if you can get that but absolutely no chance of them rates in Yorkshire.

To be honest mate. I don't think I am far off London prices. To begin with I just did it because I was busy and could not fit anymore work in. But if people are willing to pay it, who am I to argue. Some of my regular customers do get a better rate. But all new customers are charged the above. I've heard it is very competitive in Yorkshire. I was on a course with a lad from Doncaster (I believe this is in yorkshire but correct me if am wrong) and he said he was struggling for work and was always getting undercut on prices.

That top one was supposed to be a private message to you. #efffingidiotiam so I have deleted it from the above post.

It's in a private section so I wouldn't be too alarmed
