Do you want this in the open forum ?

 

[Rickster123]

How can you beat that? By completing the job and then handing them a 20 pound note instead of a bill! That's too cheap. Unless it was a 24i?

Not really

Cos the boiler fell off the back of the lorry and the phone number the bloke left is discontinued.

That's why I avoid install work these days. May as well work in Tesco if they are gonna carry out installs at those prices.

Does that mean no Warranty..! (Cut price boilers in pubs ..Still warm )

 

[AWheating]

needs another £1000 - £1500 min. putting on that price tbh.

its probably a employed gsr or non registerd person who has not brought any of the materials, paying no tax, no warrantee etc......

either that or the customer is full of it.

got him off rated people?and yes he could not get hold of him,but as said it was a decent install.

Probably had his phone cut off for not being able to pay his bill.

 

[lame plumber]

you dont need to beat it as they probably had no insurance or gsr ticket coz they arent earning enough to cover any overheads and will be bust in due course.

 

[Destroyer2813]

Why you go there in the first place ?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

£1350 quid for a boiler change combi > open-vented to Sealed > removal of old floor standing boiler >Power-flush included.
That was my quote for a low range combi & somebody beat it, couldn't believe it.

 

[Barry98]

[lame plumber]

2 kettles on an extension lead

2 kettles on an extension lead

It was alpha, inc time clock and std flue kit, some special off. cheap. don't like alpha but was asked for a range of prices

Kettles are more expensive. ha
