Your implication that we’re minted when you clearly don’t understand the process or the costs of running a business would appear to be one

Of course you have one, you’re on here whining about a perfectly reasonable quotation. You were expecting for us all to say ‘yeah, it’s expensive’
As a matter of interest, i’d Like to know the install quote.

It's been seven years since I worked for a company where we did power flushing but from memory the cost then was £400 for up to 10 rads and another £20 per rad over that base figure so £600 for a 20 rad system. Add in yearly increases in prices of everything and your price starts to look very fair, provided all is done correctly.
When I worked for iguana many moons ago I was doing a boiler change and a powerflush in a day leaving home at 6am getting home 9-10pm really screwed me over and was knackered constantly.
We had an area meeting and they said 1 bloke Leicester way I think was doing 2 jobs a day I asked how the hell they could do that and a power flush as I was just starting installing the boiler at 3pm due to the flush 1 of the other lads said your doing a flush why you doing that!

Haha... iguana! The happy days of warmfront. I worked for ECGS, but me and team use to install full heats in a day. I feel your woes, it killed me too
But money was good... very good, mind you I earned it

Iguana and EAGA where terrible installs, thrown in at high cost to the government.
Yeah that's why I did them every time.
And the customer. My last job for them was a heat only swap. The customer asked me how much I thought job should cost I said max £1800 she apparently had to put £1000 and she was given over £2000 I said you've been ripped of completely said to the manager I cant RIP people off.
It was good money if you got the right jobs. Some of them were terrible jobs and short timescales

Careful HF, don’t tar everyone with the same brush. My installs were lovely and perfectly correct in every possible way.

I was actually top of the leader board for years, with no call backs. I even had letters/ emails for fantastic work. There were other just as good installers.
But I agree, there were lots of wankers... who didn’t give a flying hoot

To be fair I knew a bloke who used to work for ecgs and he was very quick and very good at his job too. When he first subbied to us I couldn't believe how quick he threw pipes in.

Nothing to do with engineers mate. All to do with the companies themselves.

He was from Scunthorpe and I believe he was based at pontefract. He was called Leroy, don't know his last name though.That’s good to know, I probably knew him if he was from Grimsby way on
