Cheapest Combinaton boiler

[tackleburger]

Because of the Band B boilers days being numberd,the days of £500 boilers will soon be over (for now?), the difference in price between a rubbish Band A boiler and a Good Band A boiler isnt that great any way anymore.

This is true and it is easy to price two boilers on your quotes. I do it as I have been undercut that many times with the 400 pound band b brigade.

last one i had ,went to fit gas hob !old one was 15 years old start coming apart ....installed new one then they ask for system upgrade ! they had floor standing boiler about 15-20years old and they ask for new system boiler with mega-flow !new mains new ,boiler new location vertical flue and new rads ! total cost come up to 5k .
Then they say ohh we don't have that much to spend ,then give them a cheaper option like 3.5k ! ohhh this is to much ...
Then i give them option to have just combi just under 3k ...
Ohh we have to really look in to our budget ......
Then can you not power flush ....
can you not leave the old rads.....
can you not fit a filter ....
can you not fit a limemaster...
why do you have to change rad valves ......

On the end i just told the customer please make your decision on what i have already itemised on my quote and get back to me !
i think is been 20 days now no sign of them .....thanks god
I think if i did get job would have been hell working in there house ...big house but customer not spending on maintains
so really time waisted . for every quote it does take me about 2-3h to do it

I know the feeling only too well mate.

the itemised bill will be labour and material cost combined you know e.g "magnetic filter installed for extra £180" I dont like telling customer materials and labour seperate they get a price for the job im doing n thats that

At a recent quote I sent went like this as the customer clearly looked at prices and I got the job.

Supply, relocate and fit F&E tank & CWST 3937
Supply & fit 125 litre megaflow independent of CWST £987
Supply & fit heatrea 9 KW boiler & 6 radiators £1368
Supply and fit H&C water supply pipework to new bathroom £380

Etc etc this way I itemised everything but included the fitted price to disguise the margins all in all the price was keen as he had a few but it just saved the bartering on the main items which I used to itemise seperately. Now I don't.

Hi yes the Ideal Logic is okay its easy to install and comes with a optional 5 year warrenty, price including standard flue is just short of £500 plus vat, oh and it has filling loop built in as well, hope this helps.

It's the logik+ that has a five year and it is dearer.

I will fit them for £120 a day

If you aren't supplying anything and your not flushing out etc etc you can do a couple a day not bad if you can keep it up. Wouldn't be me though I'd rather do something else than throw boilers in at break neck pace just to make a buck.

Heating-eng surely you can do better than that raise your game man.

every one is on about foreign guys undercutting every one .......where here we have the X BG MAN

I can work for what ever i like. £120 a day suits me fine, most combis take me 2 days and are fitted to the highest standards.
I am happy to work 3 to 4 days a week at that price.

if you do not want me to post what i charge then i won't.
No problem.

 

[villa_tom]

To be honest I don't care what other people charge, I just look after myself and the rest looks after itself. However I would not recommend saying what you charge in the open forums, customer will just get an idea of what they expect to pay, and prices can differ from bloke to bloke. Also with our industry being on watchdog every other week things like this can't help. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies.

we all have our living costs,each to thier own.

quite frankly, i am new business as i have just got my own ticket and i would be happy with £500 a week at the moment.

[SafeGasInstall]

Martin that is fine mate, but advertising his services at this rate is not doing good to any body !!! this is why we have plumbers arms for !!!

That is why i offer to fit cheap band A boilers to try and get the work. It is not easy out there at the moment.

I was commenting on a post where somebody said he has boilers fitted for £200.
People are very quick to start slating people and saying they are not doing the job correctly when charging low prices but the truth is i fit boilers as good as anybody i have seen and better than most i used to go to at BG but at a price that suits me and suits my customers.

i agree,,
any price comparison take it over to the plumbers arms. if you cant get in then contact dan or dave for the key.
otherwise custards in london may think they can get a combi fitted for£99.99, with a very small but valid chance could affect the market. who knows its bad enough allready.

Went to the ldeal logic training course in hull yesterday. was surprised how good it was. got to strip down etc very easy to work on 5 year warranty that has to be a good selling point..

5 years warrantly is all well good, but if they dont service it every year then it is void, as many custards are worried about price, getting things done as cheap as possible, do you think they will get it serviced for every year.

That's up to them, if they don,t get it serviced then why would the man,s cover it ?
If you buy a new car it has to be serviced to be covered for warranty.
