Hi, what is the best method to obtaining a quote for a full install?
eg.
I would like to get central heating put into my 1 bedroom flat.
Being a full install, Boiler, Rads, Pipes and fittings. Assume possible 2 days work for a competant installer.
E.g
Most of them have broken it down into an installation, boiler, and materials fee.
Avg £1800 - £2000 for the install, £1000 for the boiler, and most shockingly £1200-£1400 for additonal parts.
This leaves me with the risk of them slapping in poor quality parts, and leftovers from other paid jobs!!!
Meaning that they are trying to make a huge profit on the materials that they are looking to use, and it comes as no suprise that none of them have been forthcoming on my requests to provide a breakdown of the spec.
I would like to be able to spec the system myself making sure that they use Copper throughout.
What are my options?
Could I hire an installer to fit a Worcester/Vaillant CH Pack? One that comes with rads, trvs, copper, and fittings etc... It would still be cheaper than some of the prices I have been quoted for.
Considering that some people barely take home £1600 per month. How can they grumble that they are not making anything on the instllation charge for an estimated 2 days works?? That's dam good money too!!!
Hoping you can help.
Thanks

- At least it would give me control over what is going into my property.
- I will get the parts that I want.
- And it could save me from being over charged on parts by around £800.
