This is the first I've ever heard of this scheme.

I think its absolutely disgusting. Just encourages illegal gas work IMHO. Who collects the parts from pts? There's no way I'd go and pick them up for someone else on their account. Even if I was to fit them.

Ive never liked pts and I hate them even more now. :-(

it costs £149.00 if you have 1-3 properties £249 if you have 4-25 properties and 349 for between 26-999 properties.
the catch is you have to list all the properties that you own.
now if you were clever or daft enough i'm not sure which,
you could easily get around this by adding every tom dick and harriet that you know and trust that would allow you to include there address aswell.

its worth thinking about if you have a few houses already.

yep that's the price she gets them for glow worm ultrcom 2 24kw £430

 

[julesverne]

Its annoying that only landlords can get access to this price. it also shows the mark up that pts are making on the boiler. although it could be a numbers game.

 

[julesverne]

they also do really cheap kitchens aswell and that price at pts isnt just limited to boilers.

There's no reason why we couldn't.

All we need is numbers.

They've got 1000+ landlords, all buying off their account, giving them a big discount.

We need to find a few hundred plumbers and gas fitters and open a joint trade account at PTS.


How many Arms members do we have?

Pts don't sell INTERGAS so that's half of us out

 

[Leo21]

That's disgusting, Pts should be giving that to us not landlords. It would be like a timber supplier doing better deals for plumber s than carpenters.

Do we know if PTS are having a stand at PHEX, cos i just might pay them a visit if they are.

They usually do.
I feel less guilty about swiping a pair of knipex cobras off them at the last phex now

I can't believe I am going to stand up for PTS.

This won't be there doing. No merchant, even the mighty Travis Perkins (who own PTS now) have enough margin to offer those kinds of discounts, regardless of the size of customer. Merchant margins on boilers are paper-thin.

It will be a deal done between the manufacturer(s) and the purchasing group - probably a landlord association.

PTS could say no to the manufacturers at the end of the day they are a plumbers merchant not a landlords merchant.

They could, but one of the others would do it. And PTS don't pretend to have a trade-only policy do they? I thought they would sell to anyone?
