That’s only labour, £300 a day for the gas man & & £100 a day cash for his helper. Plus parts which may have a mark up on. Not bad money. It can be fitted in a day. When put like that it makes sense. Only time I ever got quotes was back in 2005. The local Indy corgi folks were charging about 1700 and BG charging 3K . I suppose the big problem a lot of families have when getting there boiler swapped is the urgency to get it done. I can't see most people getting a day rate with someone competent and working hard enough. Good point about the parts. |

I’ve a mate who constantly whines about being undercut on Boiler Swop Jobs😂😂😂. I just keep telling him, he’s in the wrong market. Domestic Gas Work has been killed off by the 6 Weeks Course Cowboys. I tell him; the only good money in Domestic Gas work is repairing the fuck ups these morons leave behind them. So, this guys is making £300 a day, but I, on average, make £500-800 a day doing repairs. When people have no Heat in the middle of Winter, they’ll pay Top Dollar for repairs. I have a 89 year old OAP neighbour, he tried 4 different guys to come out & fix his Baxi BBU. Nobody would touch it. ‘Never worked on these old things, want a price for a new boiler’?. I stripped it & fitted a new thermocouple & charged him £860, he was delighted to pay that, he’d been quoted £4,380.00 for a new boiler........Work smarter, not harder!!!👍👍👍 I find parts are getting more difficult to find though for the old stuff even on EBay as a used item. It can be an issue matey👍 |
