    he paid a guy €600 to supply and fit it


    i showed him the same filter on water2buy.ie for €215

    guy was an hour and a half fitting it, so charged over €200 per hour :mad:

    You;ll find he most likely either got the item at a more expensive price or he charged a percentage on top of the item

    You also have to realise also that VAT on that job was most likely in and around €107. Therefore before they start to fit it, it is costing them €215 + €107=€322. While that still leaves €278 you can see where the costs are coming from. Then take into account his insurance, tax on van, insurance on van, PRSI etc..While you may think he is charging you €139 per hour (2 hours or part thereof) he is just covering his costs.

    Hope that helps in easing the query but I still agree that that rate is very high!!
