Do you respond or just leave them to it?

[Scott_D]

Quoted to change a non condensing combi with a verticals flue, condensate pump needed.
He wanted a WB 28CDI materials are just under £2000

 

[Harvest Fields]

How much did you quote him mate?

 

[Scott_D]

£2850 in total

£2000 materials
£100 for a roofer
£50 because its a CDI compact

 

[townfanjon]

Its got sod all to do with him what you change, you have put the price in , he says yes/no.
The end .

 

[Aquarius]

Has he done that £1600 price? If so is he using like for like? He might be able to get it cheaper, so be it, can’t win them all, leave them to it. You don’t have to justify why one install was cheaper than another.

No he is saying he thinks materials are £1600 and his last boiler was fitted for £350.
Not sure why he isn’t using the last guy 😇

Nothing wrong with your price mate. Stand your ground unless you need the work.

 

[snowhead]

He's asking if there is room to negotiate.
The answer is No, your price is already the best you can do.

He may be back when he's had a few more quotes.

 

[SimonG]

Just ignore it. Or then again you could have some fun.

Do you put an expiry on your estimates?

 

[Aquarius]

Sorry, misinterpreted. I thought you had fitted it for £350 on his last one 😉

True, but I have allowed for shock arrestor, lime fighter, worcester filter and room stat, lead slate, extensions, 45s, bracketry, ply for the wall and an extra expansion vessel and it turns out he just wants it thrown at the wall from the garden.

did you list all of these

 

[Scott_D]

did you list all of these

Yeah its all in my quote
Just deciding if I should reply and explain the price or leave it as im never getting the job

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I wouldn’t would just say thank you for the opportunity

 

[Harvest Fields]

As above. He has to do what is right for him and you what is right for you.

 

[WaterTight]

Yes there's room for negotiation. Problem is I'll be going up.

 

[king of pipes]

Scott your well in price mate stick to your quote if he wants a quality job then that costs I would politely explain that in your opinion it's correct and leave it at that don't waste time on the fool. Kop

 

[oz-plumber]

This guy comes across as a 'Know it all' type of person.

His expectations are that you will come back to him with a much cheaper quote.

If you can be bothered, re-submit a quote without all the extra stuff you included and price it accordingly.

I bet he will come back to you and say, if you do all things you included in the first quote for the price of the second quote, you can have the job.

 

[Scott_D]

This was my reply. I haven’t heard anything back so he must have found someone else.

 

[rpm]

All I`ll say is that I would start with the Thank you ....................................... not end with it, as it is it reads Goodbye to me.
