I have checked where it will come down and it will land almost exactly over the top of an outlet- so you're right that a plumber will need to come out and connect it to existing stormwater. This will add to cost- I suppose I was thinking maybe a few hours of plumber time at most- not a whole day's worth - will it really take this long to run a single down pipe? I was thinking of the usual scenario where the stormwater is parallel with the house and trenching around the deck would be required. This takes time but you are lucky here. Connecting a new downpipe is usually $180-250 as a standard install but the plumber also has to put the guttering up. You never know how a plumber will charge (quote), for example, it is unreasonable to expect them to order and pick up the material in their own time but some really milk the fact while others might absorb it in the call out. Many plumbers also head straight to Reece but their prices are very high. All things considered, you could expect the plumber to probably charge 4 hours max for what you describe. I have heard of some plumbers charging as little as $80 ph but a call out of $80 plus $30 per 1/4 hr is common. We have had a lot of plumbers who use to do commercial work come back into the domestic market because of the downturn and there is less work around now. Small jobs are more sought after than they were a couple of years ago and it is still good money. The builder is most probably also adding his own margin for the plumber's costs (single invoice), after all, he needs to organise the plumber and allow for cost overruns etc. If you get other quotes, it would be worthwhile to separate the roof and the plumbing. If you have a guttering business near to your area, it would be worthwhile calling them rather than another plumber. It is always worthwhile to try to save money provided you don't sacrifice quality and I think that you can. Good luck with everything. 3in1 Supadiverta.
