How much to fit an unvented cylinder

[Robert Clark]

Hi Guys

 

How much do you think for labour only to fit an unvented cylinder in a first floor airing cupboard ?
 

All pipe work other than the external pressure relief pipes are already there. There is nothing to remove.

 

Job is in Sussex

 

Have been quoted £700 labour (not vat registered) plus materials.

 

Thanks

It's roughly a day's work, unlikely to be any more if everything is there.  The gotcha might be running the drain pipe, as that may be a bit of work to run in accordance with the regs.

How much do you think per day?

Perhaps £300, for your area?  Unlikely to be more than that, I'd have thought.  Plumbers around here charge less than that, usually around £250/day, less for larger jobs, perhaps.

I would say £300 per day would be plenty.  But this is "the south"

I know a plumber in the south earning 6 figures a year on new build work. That's roughly 400 a day. Then again guys up here earning less than 200. @Nickfromwales might know the rates better is he still about?
