How joe public thinks

I like to read this forum as it gives a good idea of how people view trades.
Everyone knows how long a job should take and what the labour should cost based on minimal information.

Any plumbers, has my mum paid a fair price? Boiler query - Page 1 - Homes, Gardens and DIY - PistonHeads UK

Tbh most of them seem it agree it’s not a bad price but they also assume that he’s not going to add profit onto the materials

Interesting read, a few seem to appreciate the price of a decent job and then a few bell ends.

Bit like the daily briefing. If you want a laugh watch it on lad bible on face book and put the comments on. They live amongst us.

I don't find I have to much of a problem with my customers you will always get the odd one that moans, I often adjust my pricing if Mr bellend comes calling I am always polite and courteous but theres no wriggle room for them they pay full wack and a bit more 😉. The problem I am having is landlords that's a whole different story , this particular one has various properties in my area I have carried out repairs on 3 of his properties during lockdown and there is a pattern emerging theres is a lack of maintenance that's been carried out, and he just can't get it won't listen or doesn't want to hear it, I found gas regulation issues on one of the properties and made him aware but still he argues with me and now wants paperwork to say the property has had a gas safety check when all I did was a tightness test it's not gonna happen! Even if I lose out . Kop

I like 'mikebradford's' comment: "I'd also question the boiler size depending on the size of the flat. That boiler could be excessive for a 1 to 2 bed flat, if it doesnt have ensuite and lots of bathrooms."
What size combi would he reccommend?
