I thought you'd be able to do plumbing no problem after you did such a great job installing those lights your self

so you have bought flux solder screws plugs clips ptfe various tools blowlamp gas etc etc or do you expect that all to be included in the 120 quid also what time will you be avialable to pick the guy up in your car and drop him off home again ?
I think what people need to realise here is that its not just a simple case of cutting a length of pipe slapping a few pushfits on,topping up the system and away you go.
Like with everything else you get what you pay for but with this type of work if you pay little it usually ends up costing you more in the long run to get it put right.
I like people that go for the cheapest quote as I have been to many to put the job right.

I expect him to have his tools and that be included - In the same way that I wear trousers and shoes when I go to my job
Cash-in-hand, avoiding tax and VAT. £120, for a days work, from a qualified professional, who you'd expect to revisit for free if a problem arises?£120 in cash for a days work is I would hope quite substancial
I am starting to regret ever posting here and calling up a big firm who pay their actual plumbers a lot less then this
Had you used the forum for its intended purpose - gleaning information from those in the know on how to do a job, your experience would have been more pleasurable/productive.a simple job like adding ONE radiator to a system
The plumber, hopefully, will turn up fully dressed as well as fully tooled up. Should you ever manage to find one. A "big company" will not even despatch a tradesman for under £100. Then there will be consumables on top, and most big companies won't do labour-only jobs.I expect him to have his tools and that be included - In the same way that I wear trousers and shoes when I go to my job

A labourer on 80 a day? Thats 500 quid a week assuming a six day week??
And the gaffa on 150 a day means working six days a week = 900 a week.
And from experience this is usually paid in cash
Also I believe that the OP is not even in London which is further bow in the arrow
Methinks Bruce needs new batteries in his calculator.DeludedAussie said:This is what I am getting at - 3 people for 5 weeks == 10K???
Thats 3500 per person per month?
