I have a George at £200+ but you don't need to spend that much, everyone on here rates this Wickes wetvac but the reviews are rubbish.
I have the wickes one, and is decent enough, though it seems to have gone up by a tenner since las year.
I'll second that mate, bloke the other day scoffed at me, fitting 6 trvs for £120, hed said 'i was thinking more like 20 quid'
where do these people get these ideas from
Head back to page one this and God knows how many similar threads on God knows how many web sites.
I am in a country that is supposed to be financially ruined with over 14% unemployment yet my customers are happy to pay realistic rates for quality services.
It may come as a big surprise to many but today's consumer wants Value for money not a slave, they also want good quality products installed in their homes.
So I say up your game and give the consumers what they really want, they work hard for their money and most are only too well aware of the fact that if you buy cheap you pay twice.
Bit harsh peteheat. implying i have no pride in trade or self mate. its all new to me. the only thing i lack is knowledge. This is the reason i posted the question and why the group is here is it not. i want to be the best i can and take pride in my work and myself. I'm guilty of being too soft with people by nature and going low on price but as i'm just starting out i want that to stop. i've studied hard this last two years and will continue to do so while i am doing the job. and its that realisation when i'm stood there talking to a customer who wants it for peanuts that promted the question. I also believe that offering silly prices shows a lack of respect to the likes of you guys who have studied and worked hard.
how much for a couple of cap end,they'll take a big chunk of your 20 quid....fair too cheap...how do you liveI wouldnt sleep at night if i didnt cap it. for the price of a couple of cap ends its a no brainer aint it. unless said customer has a thing for water features lol.
With the money you earn from this job put it towards a wetvac, then next time you'll be quicker draining the rad but still charge the same.
A vac that can suck up water rick. never thought about using it for draining a rad tho. much quicker i bet.
what qualification have you gained in two year,and is this a side line or like many are we playing the system,the reason i ask is because your knowledge is limited so god knows what you were studying and your prices to me seem to be just a token gestureBit harsh peteheat. implying i have no pride in trade or self mate. its all new to me. the only thing i lack is knowledge.

Desrob you obviously dont condone anyone trying to better themselves and try to provide for a young family. I'm sure when you started out you never had to ask questions but for me i like to ask questions. and for the most part i get supportive informative answers. i've offered like many to work for free with plumbers but no one is willing to. should i sit back and let my college work go to waste or should i throw myself in at the deep end. apologies i dont come up to your obviously high standard.
exactly rick, and i don't see why anyone should be made to feel inferior for being the bottom end of the scale and asking questions.Everyone has to start some where

Iv studied two years for my 6129 qulification spend well over £1500 on tools and now looking into buying a van am I going to stop what I enjoy doing just because I haven't got an NVQ? No. Its so hard to gain an apprenticeship at the moment but I enjoy plumbing so that isn't going to stop me .
I thought there are currently NO legisation in plumbing apart from the obvious i.e Gas safe OFTEC and unvented?
I'm 32 with a house and young family mate. my days of drugs and stealing are long gone. we all have to mature like a fine wine at some point lol.
