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

I charge £200 and I'm not green, and I'm in the South East. Or £50 per hour, after 4 hours it's a flat day rate.

I do charge first hour minimum, of £50.00 if I'm there ten minutes, that's a bonus for me.

Have considered putting the rates up, but people squirm at those rates.

over £200 & i am near newark @~@

if it was 6 months worth it may be worth it but not for 4 days!! and your name on it thats not a business rate its just a wage imo

£35 ph or £200-£225 per day

We could not afford to send any skilled man out for £160 per day and I would be furious if Mr TP did work at that rate - we'd be subsidizing the OP.
Having said that £160 per day is roughly what we pay subcontractors, OK the qualified GSR heating engineers do get a bit more - but not much.

I also think if OP is a GSR engineer who has found and organised the job and will be taking responsibility for it, then some guys might be happy to just turn up and do it.
But if he is a builder and he wants a GSR engineer to sort out materials, work out how to do the job, register the boiler etc then obviously £160 is too low.

Could you all stop please. I'm getting tempted to go back contracting again!

I charge at least £240 per day, so they way I look at it, if you remove all the work related stress from my life, how can my time as a subby be worth more than £160? That hardest part of the job, isn't the work.

£160 per day still equates to £3200 a month, or just over £2500 after tax. £38,000 a year based on 48 weeks.

£160 a day seems a nice amount to me! i work doing maintanance plumbing! only on 22k a year + company van and phone , i think its a good wage for a 21 yr old around where we live ( 3 years a go i was only getting paid £50 a week as an apprenticce , onwards and upwards ..... hopefully!!)

But it doesnt account for the fact you dont work every day, have to take holidays and time off sick, need to do quotes and planning etc, time off doing training and gas exams etc which ultimately severely affects your actual takehome in the bank.

My callouts are £75 for first hour then 35 per hour normal working hours (8-4) outside those times the skys the limit within reason and wends are more costly thereafter, quotes for heating systems inc 20% on parts supplied would mean I aim to get around £350 per day net.

just looked a pimlico rates again, ots time to review my rates as i last did them 18,months back, if they can charge £180 for service and LLC my rate needs to go up. http://www.pimlicoplumbers.com/company-charges

im in south hams and plumbs around here are working for £100 a day gas fitters £150 to £200 a day and you would still get undercut at that.
The OP is offering £160 and he would have them queing at the door around here
