Handyman Plumber/Chippy etc

[rayo]

Ok I will try not winge too much but trying to do some work on my house and just being driven mad by trades people charging an arm and a leg to do simple jobs.

I will not rant on with regard what has come before but my latest one with a plumber who came round yesterday to literally fit 5ft of waste pipe with a riser/stack for a dishwasher and washing maching. Then cut the hot water and cold pipe and move them 1 foot he wanted ?150...it literally was a 1 hour job

I had all the gear and there was nothing in his way cupboard wise. He didnt do gas so I would have needed another guy to come and connect the new gas hob........

Has the world gone mad or is there still people out there who would do some simple plumbing/carpentry work on an evening/weekend for a fair price.

Now ok I know every one has to make a days wages and a salary and I know a guy has to drive over and do the job but I dont class my simple job as something you should set a day aside to do. I didnt care when he did it day or night but my point is there is no way it was a ?150 + another sum to connect gas to a hob for another guy.

Sooooooooooo ED do you think I am over the top and are guys to come round and do a little job worth ?150? Or are there people out there glad of a few pound and will come round and actually be useful and do some bitty stuff?

I have no problem paying a guy for a days work but what I cant do is have a guy come round for an hour or two and want ?150?

Thoughts would be most welcome

We're having some decorating/handyman work done on our place and after a couple of quotes, I found someone local who's really good and also charges a half-day rate where relevant. Did the tradesman come recommended by someone that has recently had work done by them?

?150 is alot for 1 hour, obviously. I charge that for a day and have tools for every job in a house. If you need any further work completed please get in touch. I live on Heber Road so local work is prompt.

Best,
