Whats the average daily rate for a plumber? Excluding copper / pex etc. To do some lets say re-routing of heating pipes to under the floor or decommission / re-route a radiator?

"I would say an average day rate where I am from which is Essex, would be between £160- £250 dependant on the engineers experience and quality of work. You could easily get someone to work for less but then you would be sacrificing quality in my opinion."

"150 - 300 depending on who you ask to quote. Ask a few for a price."

"Anything from £60 and above depending on the Company. Each company has overheads to cover, not just the plumber who turns up at the job."

"£200-£300 is reasonable. Depends on experience and job that requires doing. For example, clearing a blocked drain would attract a higher fee due to the hazard and unpleasantness."
