If you look at here and other web sites, many qualified plumbers looking for jobs and asking for less than £200 a day. I know many plumbers working for local council working for less than £15 per hour.

These are an exception not a rule.

If you work for somebody, how much can you get per year? 40K? Than what is your hourly rate? Around £16! How much you get now? That difference already counts your status.

Have you ever run a business abc11156?

Why are you all trying to teach a stupid person how business works ?
No matter what you say or how you explain they have such a poor view of the plumbing industry & the skill levels required that how ever little was quoted it would be to much.
Just let them pay a little & get a whole lot of trouble!!!

You still haven't got into your head the difference between working for someone, and running your own business! They are completely and utterly different things.

And there is a bottom to every market. Look on autotrader and you will find cars for less than £500. But you wouldn't want one would you? Similarly there are footballers who will play for £50 for 90 mins, but they aren't likely to get a game for Chelsea.

There are "plumbers" that will work for £10 per hour. Just not in my house thank you.

To be honest: Yes.

What happened to it? Was it a successful long term venture?

To be honest: Yes.

Does or did it pay enough to employ decent plumbers?

This thread is getting out of hand.

Prices vary from district to district but general rule of thumb is if you pay peanuts, prepare to clean up monkey poo. And it sounds like you're about to clear up a lot of poo.

Thread closed.
