    Re: call out charge

    Local £39.50 any amount of time or calls, + parts Or £20 if its not worth repairing( its not a call out charge but for Diagnosing fault)
    Intergratted is £45 or £30.
    Areas closer to London £45 or £25. Intergratted £52.50 or £30.
    I think its good to reduce labour charge if its not worth repairing,
    They dont like to think they will pay alot if machine is scrapped.
    Most people dont know what intergratted means,
    So we allways ask on the phone” has it got a kitchen cabinet door fitted to washing machine”

    pmb, do you charge £39.50 labour on bearing changes as well?

    If I had a WM range that needed new bearings you would do it for about £60.00 all in?

    Just interested, when on a fixed labour, how you calculate these sorts of job?

    Or do you take the rough with the smooth? And hope its more smooth.

    Hi Tim,
    Im sure pmp charges £39.50 for a standard repair for a tub/ bearing job I imagine he charges considerably more.

    (dear lord I hope none of you are out there doing tub/ bearing jobs for this amount for your own sakes!)

    You earn more on big jobs
    You could charge R R P.on parts Which Are normally well discounted,
    A bearing job on a Hotpoint RRP is spider £38. Bearing £26. tub seal £10 = £74+vat for parts
    I would charge £97 total. which is less then RRP + my labour charge but i dont loose the job.
