Gary Brown Hi Gary, Thanks

Hi Nick. Thanks so much. if you ever want to do a joint video and promote your business let me know. All for free.

Thank you so much.

Allen Hart you’re not too expensive either mate. There are too many people in the trade willing to undercut other engineers for inferior work. Keep it up buddy I enjoy all your vids and I’ve learned to enjoy my trade again thanks to people like you

@@stephenmiller3994 Sharing love buddy, Thanks again.

@@stephenmiller3994 also there are people that charge high prices, but refuse to do any flushing, minimum pipework cutting/sleeving. Allen actually prides himself on his level of workmanship, so he is charging the right prices.

@@aashraf5516 Flushing is the most important part of the job. Thanks.

Thank you

I give a fixed price at the start. Thanks.

The golden nugget is being in a position where you couldn't give 2 fucks if they accept your quote or not and being in a position in life to be able to vet your customers.

Hi Phillip. Thank you.

@@AllenHart999 can you send a link so I can send you plumbing disaster jobs I come across, might help the channel out. ?

another tosser plumber 2500 to replace boiler same place replace a few bricks two days work going slow expect a plasterer to plaster half their house for a 1000 over payed trade very little skill needed to be one gloryfied plumbers

patrick walsh Thank you for your feedback 👍

@@neilwalsh-xh8go Thank you for providing a perfect example of the type of customer Paul was talking about. Know nothings who want everything on the cheap are the reason this industry is in such a sorry state, people cater to demand, and if you demand cheap - you get shit.

Thanks, will do!

@@max29july You clearly have no idea what you are talking about but thank you so much for the comment.

People down here have expected a boiler swap for less than £500 if they but a boiler. I hate the people who come back to tell you they have had alot cheaper quote and boilers been fired sooner. . . I can't dream what type of job they end up with

In trades we trust Thanks 🙏

Pretty sure this approch would quickly by put to test by his customer base

@@krzysiekv12 If you're good at what you do - your client base wont be small

You are very kind. Thank you so much ❤️

Do you have the test equipment to make sure it is safe afterwards? Thanks.

Pittbull Thanks 🙏

Thank you so much

It would have been a vauxhall (bedford) HA he had. Great workhorse for the time.

Thanks.

Thank you so much.

Hi David. I am grateful that people choose to watch. Thank you very much.

Do you charge more or less than me? Thanks.

I would say I'm on par with you . But living in london is more expensive and other installer are charging more. But it gives me the confidence to look at the job and charge accordingly instead of charging what i think i can get away with. Really like these videos looking at different installs and how you price for them. I'd be interested in seeing your thought process when you first look at a job and how you put a price on it. I'm newly in business and any help is a amazing as trying to get business info is very diffricult as many in the industry keep what they have learned to themselves.

Hi Danny. Thanks.

Hi John. Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

Ask them if they test the water as per BS7593-2019 Thanks. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3VcMnZEbrpg.html

J P Thanks.

Thank you for all the donations to the charity. ❤

Thank you so much

So true!

But get them to bend a 2 45’s in copper pipe and slip a bend on a flue and they would have no clue. Remember your a Master Plumber and that’s what they pay for. Lol charge them more they know about the job. That should be a new physical Law in the age of information… 😂 It’s call labor cost and workmanship guaranteed they can by the part if it make it cheaper for them. 😂

Thank You.

That's a really good idea for a video. Thank you so much

Thank You.

Thank you so much

I swapped a vokera compact for an easyheat last week, dropped the pressure through the prv lifted it off and dropped the new one on the same bracket and pipes, flue out the same hole then cut a filter in to comply with new regs. They already had a co detector. The system was squeeky clean as i've done stuff for them on the system for the past 3 years and there was an existing nest. Under 470 ex vat for the boiler, filter and some inhibitor and i charged £990 (825 ex vat).Only materials i used was a handful of sand cement and 2ft of 5 core 3 hrs done and dusted including going to pick the boiler up from the merchants so i made roughly 340-50 for 3 hours work. Tell me i'm not charging enough and i'll rip you a new arse. I charge what i see is fair not what i think should be the going rate. Those days are well gone. I have 40 odd years experience doing this garbage and could do it with my eyes shut but i can honestly say i've never intentionally ripped anyone off. Btw heres one. 1978-9 im a 3rd year apprentice and we are doing a bbu swap from solid to gas on a gas board job (in the days when the gas board were a good company). The woman next door came in and said "im looking for a new boiler too can you give me a price". My tradesman said you go in and see her so I went in and hadn't a clue how to price it. She wanted a baxi W2 (a baxi wood as we called them) and said the gas board gave me a price of £1850 or whatever it was. Me being young and thick said i'll do it for £1600. Now considering you could buy a brand new car for around that price, albeit a chevette or escort ,it was still a lot of fuckin money. I ordered the stuff through my boss (cos he was a decent cunt) and done the job with another apprentice on a long shift on the Saturday (including brick up and plastering). Went into work on the monday and said how much do i owe you. £400 and whatever it was. Just short of £1200 for a days work in the late 70's I paid the apprentice £100 for his shift (weekly wage was around £20) and he was severely pissed off that i bought myself a 2 year old cortina with my share. Thats an example of how much rates and prices have fallen. But that was different times.

‘Under value the trade’?? What do you mean? They charge what they are willing to do the job for....perhaps charging more than that might appear to be unethical to them. Also the amount of time the same jobs gets a uplift for being in a nice area surprises me too..

Bilal Ali So people work on the side and pay no tax insurance etc, some work cash in hard, Then others that people pay tax insurance vat etc, business costs and advanced training, The people doing the job correctly often earn less

Allen Hart agreed training and insurances cost money and for the 50 plus boilers I’ve had fitted I make sure that couple of lads I use have both. Unfortunately people not paying tax, there is nothing you can do about that other than report them to HMRC and get a finders fee 😜

I am happy to put any quotes on here, I only have so much time though. Thanks.

Thank you so much

The sparkies definitely haven't kept there prices plenty out there undermine the trade.

@Mark Sesum I refer electrical jobs to two first class, but expensive electricians. They are swamped out with work, but I get some nice calls from the customers who are always delighted with the quality of the work, and the people. I should say I live in a relatively affluent part of the country.....if a bit out in the sticks. It's always harder in the built up areas or working for some landlords who don't want to spend anything so I do sympathise. I go to by far the most expensive optician round here.......not because I like chucking money away, but because of the reputation he has built over the last 30 years. He had a marketing strategy when he set up, and I'm not sure enough tradesmen do the same. I'm about to retire so I have time to reflect on these things. Best of luck with your new direction.

What would you like me to do with it? I was thinking of totally cutting it up?

@@AllenHart999 Yes, an angle grinder to the heat exchanger and plate. A bit like a real life, 3D cutaway drawing. It would be fascinating to see how they're constructed, especially with any commentary on what you see inside.

@@ChrisCowley1 I will do that for you sir👍👍👍👍Thanks.

@@AllenHart999 Absolutely brilliant. Thanks. 👍
