Eventually I have been quoted £500/day inc vat install with warranty. Still higher than plumbers daily rate of £290.. wondering why this difference..
Don’t know, what’s the difference reg or not reg on daily price?Where do you get a ( proper qualified) plumber for £290?
Take it chap is vat registered then?
Different trades tend to have different prices. You'd have to ask them why they charge what they do.Don’t know, what’s the difference reg or not reg on daily price?
Anyone, including you and I can call themself a plumber with no qualifications whatsoever. Nobody can call themselves a gas registered installer without having the necessary qualifications and be registered on the gas safe register.Eventually I have been quoted £500/day inc vat install with warranty.

Ever heard of cash in hand?Don’t know, what’s the difference reg or not reg on daily price?
I know what you’re saying , and in an ideal world, this would be completely true, however, some do call themselves a gas safe engineer without having necessary qualifications or being gas safe registered - they’re called illegals and or cowboys/cowgirls.Anyone, including you and I can call themself a plumber with no qualifications whatsoever.

Just to add, on vat registration its only his labour that gets the additional 20% added, you would have already been paying the vat on the materials.When the heating engineer that I currently use started his own business he wasn't VAT registered because his turnover didn't meet the threshold for registering, that automatically made him 20% cheaper than local VAT registered businesses. As he has built up his business he has reached the threshold and become VAT registered and he now has to charge me 20% more than before. Because he does a good job I continue to use him, it isn't all about the money. For me it is good to have someone I trust who offers a good service, good advice, turns up reliably when he says he will and does a neat, tidy job.
.. so are all GS registered also VAT registered? ..Just to add, on vat registration its only his labour that gets the additional 20% added, you would have already been paying the vat on the materials.
No, Gas safe reg is totally separate. It proves the person/company is capable of working on a certain category of gas supply/appliance... so are all GS registered also VAT registered? ..
No. It is possible to be GS registered without being VAT registered... so are all GS registered also VAT registered? ..
As I understand it, he becomes the supplier and has to add VAT on anything supplied materials and labour. Turtles alll the way down.Just to add, on vat registration its only his labour that gets the additional 20% added, you would have already been paying the vat on the materials.
