If 2 properties of 8 rads can be flushed in 3 days at a labour cost of 800 euro. That works out in excess of 265 per day. Thats a good profit if you have the Quantity.Thats 1300 per week per man providing the service.I think I could cut a profit per man employed and trained. Once I had the quantity.I Still think your a bit wet behind the ears.

you are saying that you will do it for €300 per flush, which is €600 over 3 days (my ability to use an abacus mightnt be as good as yours as im still a bit green) and when you take a chemical/material cost of at least €100 per house i think your projected profit will be affected.
Im sure you'll correct me if im wrong ...

If you read the posts I mentioned labour costs (excluding materials) and if you are constantly doing this service day in, day out, you would get a routine to do them faster. Probably 1 a day.That would be 300 per day and 1200 a week.If you read a post in this forum. You will find Gary cleansed a system for 300 euro and he and the client where both happy and reading Garys posts he seems to be quite reputible and honest.

Now I have bigger fish to fry at present and realisticlly would not have the time to market and manage a new project like this. However to finalise my point.

An honest days work should reflect an honest days pay. If you cant see the logic in that.Go play with your abacus.

And an honest days work should be provided with a competent service.
Are you ?

Thats a decent honest lad that will not be effected by the recession.
Anybody charging anymore than 400 ( even allowing for company Over heads ect) should be on the mug shot part of crimeline.

I agree with your scope of works and costings. How many plumbers go to the client with a scope of works and costings like above.
Excluding the boiler as an additional extra if its required and materials as an additional extra .Your scope above for labour is

Assessment call €80- €120.00 @40 euro per hour
8 hours for repairs €320.00 @40 euro per hour.
Total Labour between €400 and €440.00

Thats the point I made originally.A decent honest days work will reflect the bill.Deduct your overheads.Its a decent earner.

I have seen and heard of lads charging upto 1200 euro to cleanse a system. How could you Justify that.

There is a lot more scope in that lads costings than billys mate provided
in his service. So will you read the posts before you comment.

Again I will say for the service billys mate ptovided anything charged over 400 euro should be named and shamed.boom is over.However that does not seem to be in the power flush industry. I might set up a company doing this and set a set charge at 300 euro (8 rads). quantity and quality is better than robbery.I guarantee you it would be profitable.;)
