What would you say is a reasonable charge for a day of plumbing work? Near Manchester if that makes a difference
Plumbers charge what they want,you might get a day rate but the final bill might be a bit more inflated than first thought,all depends what your having done,new work or rectifying old work?
It should make a difference to the £200 plus, you would pay in Surrey.
In other words your better off getting a price.
Just plumbing no gas?
Just plumbing no gas and some of it is re-tiling etc.
150/180
I'd never go by day rate, get a fixed price if possible. You both know where you stand that way. Paying by the day doesn't encourage progress if you know what I mean.
I'd certainly not pay a plumber to tile by a day rate. Tilers will be approx £25-30/m2 as a guide.
Sorry should have been clearer - it's a fixed price which includes 2 days of labour @ £300
sounds reasonable, what's your day rate James?
That's what I thought - just debating whether to get a 2nd quote but probably won't bother
Sounds fair,man has to live,trades are starting to earn good money again now,I've started to charge a bit more now because I've realised I have far better buisiness/customer care ethics than a lot of other trades in my area,iff he does a good job then you have yourself a plumber,if he wants to charge a bit more in future then you will be safe in the knowledge that he's of a good sort.
So I was correct then.
Yes you were
