Work load

[helpsy]

Has your workload gone ridiculous lately?

 

[turnpin]

Not personally but noticed few guys on here looking for work after being let down by p*** taking employers if you could use an extra pair of hands may I respectfully ask anyone on here to ask on here to help out forum members.....regards Turnpinunk:

I'm the same still ticking over, odd jobs, seems no one is spending, or someone is undercutting prices to the bone, Local collages still churning out 'Plumbers' like a production line, This area is over run with new vans / Plumbers , Think I'll look for something else to do, maybe stand for local Ukip party

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I had to dingy about 30 calls last week as i just didn't have the time to do anything. .

 

[bright spark]

Ah we'll have to move to Edinburgh. Seriously, kept going here in dublin. Nothing frantic like in d boom but ticking along. Wait for this good spell of weather to disappear and d phones will tinkle

 

[Pipes Plumbing]

Yes, its gone mental in the last 3 weeks...
Think the change in the weather has started people thinking about winter already.

 

[Roger Welton]

Yes stupidly bust last few weeks, just about to head out for a day of breakdowns now

 

[Pipes Plumbing]

Have the joy of an office day today, writing up the quotes for the 6 installation surveys yesterday.
Fun fun fun!

 

[SimonG]

Its busier. September supposed to be warm, but winter outlook is cold, cold cold.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

Yes know what it like went to school not far from you meny years ago (HYDE) left when I was 16

 

[missplumb]

we are very busy as the RHI is due to fall again very soon, alot of bigger biomass installations are being rushed through, and got a huge job last week so will be starting preparations for that job.

 

[lame plumber]

dam Sun is still out and so no one is using their heating, unlike those in Scotland obviously. But once president Salmon gets his way there will be an influx of Scottish plumbers down south looking to be paid in pounds rather than groats

That's OK, the minute sunlight hits them they'll crumble into piles of dust... Or is that vampires? I can never remember...

I thought the RHI wasn't going to be cut again? Is that right across the board?

All work and no play etc etc

More to life than killing yourself at work. Make time for home.

And so ends the lecture

There's some days I wouldn't mind not being let back in

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Everything above is spot on.......my missus spends money like there's no tomorrow then moans like an old woman when I work late!

 

[helpsy]

I bought her a £1500 eternity ring from my call outs one month!

 

[rpm]

Jeez mate that set the bar high! On my wages it would of been £150 max but only if she promised to be nice to me that night, all night!

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Your to honest with her mate! She now knows every time you do call out theirs a pot of gold waiting for her lol

[helpsy]

I will do an up to date pricing in plumbers arms

 

[missplumb]

I thought the RHI wasn't going to be cut again? Is that right across the board?

there is a 10% cut on the 1st October for 200kw or less, that is the commercial Rhi not domestic, and probably another one on the 1st January looking around another 10-20%.
its keeping us going as our order books are swelling at the minute.
