How much does a Plumber Cost?? Day in the life of a Plumber EP8 

Yes please would be interesting to know

Thanks mate 👍👍

Il agree, when your experienced price is always better. Never punish yourself for experience and being fast and efficient plus a fixed price everyone knows where they stand 👍

Cheers mate, will have to do a video had a few ask 👍

I couldn’t prioritise a customer for profit, only time I might try and move a customer is if someone has an emergency but if a customer has a booked appointment with me 99/100 they will get me there for the time me and the customer agreed, might be bad business as the other job may pay more but I’ve built a good strong customer base turning up when I say I will , answering my phone and calling people back and being upfront with my prices.

Really appreciated mate thank you 👊

Always use mcalpine wastes they am good, to be honest them waste seals am like marmite you will either love them or hate them, some people can’t get on with them, I think them great Il look at doing a video cause it’s worth knowing how to start with hourly, daily rates 👌👍

Cheers mate, appreciated, few have asked so Il do a video 👍

100% rather take the extra time and know it’s done properly, cheers mate 👍

Thanks mate will do 👊

😂😂👍 truth right there, lasts forever

Same round the midlands mate, there’s people working for nothing…don’t know how they make a living!

Wooow £200! Hampshire - £950 for a really shitty Vaillant/Tado install (I supplied the combi). No flush of the system, ripples on the pipes (I felt I was better at bending offsets than my installer!), huge cracks/chunks of the bricks missing, decorative flange on flue outside is still inch from the wall. It was a such missed opportunity - I ripped the kitchen completely out, so the access to every pipe and wall was like in the college training bay. What's really annoying - guy lied to me: due to the maximising space, I wanted a tight install under the boiler with an immediate turn of all pipes on the side towards inside the plasterboard-covered pipe run (which I even ripped for the bugger). He lied to me, that Vaillant boiler supplied pipes cannot be bent or trimmed, and the gas pipe requires new entry hole in the wall (another massacred 2 bricks, instead of using the existing supply with + extra 2 meters of the pipe with one 90 bend.) Dont even mention use of Brasso.. I got angry and... just completed my first 2 months in level2 plumbing. Sadly, in Britain, if you are after quality - you have to learn and do the things yourself. I will get a gas certification and sort out that flue.

​@@5084204 He mugged you off. No desludge? If you have a breakdown, your warranty has gone out the window.

I love it when people have a go themselves, it’s all personal learning and great satisfaction if you can get it done yourself so fair play for having a go I would always encourage people to have a go as long as it’s safe to do so 👍 thanks for the sub glad you enjoyed the content mate

Thanks mate, no problem il look at doing a video on it 👍

@@bluebulldog_uk great buddy cheers 👍im in West Midlands as well 😉

Some people don’t like them, I think them great same as you 👍

Including materials mate 👍

I do on most to be honest, had the time and was doing the video so thought I would do full valve, loads quicker changing guts thou 👍

Looking into a set up mate 👍👍 glad your enjoying the content much appreciated

Can get them off Amazon, £3/4 for a couple. Job took 2 minutes and charged extra £20 as it was an extra while I fixed basin. Imagine you had a minimum charge you walk in and it’s that problem, your in and out in 5/10 minutes being fast and efficient, just another view point 👍

@@bluebulldog_uk Fair point!

Definitely, someone couldn’t be bothered to put it back 😂

Will do a video on it mate hopefully it will help 👍

It’s took a battering to be fair! Like it to keep track of my steps and floors climbed in a day, normally a lot doing this job 😂

Only on a full strip and clean service

Great videos .keep em coming 👍I've had a few of those Worcester ones with stuck solid lower baffle

Yes mate if they look a little flat il replace them 👍

Had a spell of them even if they looked ok would just leak so tend to change them majority of times now. Nice work mate 👍

Basin spanner 46mm and 50mm and cheers mate much appreciated 👊👍

@@bluebulldog_uk top lad nice one mate.

I bought that exact spanner and dint find any basin nuts it fitted. Just gone back to using grips

New manufacturers hardware pack if you have to replace normally

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 👍

Will be Live this Thursday at 9pm but Dan is away this week on holiday, lucky him 😂 I’ve got some people coming on thou to help fill in 👍

£100 for waste repairs, was going to be £80 plus VAT but just added £20 for bath as it was one of them “while your here” jobs so thought £20 extra, would be nice to have 5 of them jobs a day 😂

I’ve got one…in the van somewhere 😂 I do need to start using it properly so fair comment 👍

My Hands ain’t the smallest 😂👍

Was that including materials? I’m doing the video soon on how to work it out so might help you 👍

@@bluebulldog_uk not including materials. Well just a couple of isolation valves from my end but he bought all other materials.
