I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Got the glass fitted and shower working wouldn't of been my choice but customers liked it in the showroom it masks the expensive fixtures and fittings and closes the room in ? , they arrive home today after 2 weeks in the USA so time will tell 🫣. Kop

Well catching up on servicing before starting a boiler install next Thursday. Oil to replace Bio Mass. Customer phones this morning, been talking to a friend, I should be able to get 5k off the government, can I sort it, No. Boilers on order from Hounsfield, tanks coming thursday/friday and just bought all the controls and fittings. They've paid a deposit to cover all materials and my % on top.

Told them to start looking into it. But that the boiler, tank and bits theirs now regardless of what happens.

Love my job.
 
Got this one finished just needs decorating before toothbrush charger illuminated mirror, bathroom cabinet and shaving mirror can go up, I would recommend Flova brassware if you want something a little different you can feel the quality and the customer service team were a pleasure to deal with , a week ahead of small jobs before another bathroom and a ensuite and a heating upgrade.
Regards Kop

Thought that was only for heatpumps ? and you need MCS registration they may have had a pay back when they had the biomass boiler fitted ? but that's long gone now , Rumor has it Rishi has plans to squash that as a waste of money, a average heatpump install is around £13000 - £5000 pay back leaves £8000 to pay so out of reach for Mr & Mrs average this scheme is paying wealthy people to install heatpumps at a discount the money would be better spent insulating people's homes so they don't need their boilers on for so long and their homes then retain the heat generated, as a consequence boiler emmisions are reduced helping achieve net zero. ? .

Yes, I had a quick look at the bumf around it all. They dont qualify.

Insulation is key, but a lot of housing stock out in the sticks struggle. Not a lot you can do with a rubble filled twin stone wall.
