Are you sure the nozzle size you stated is correct?
1.2/80S will give you a heat output of 41.5 Kw.
2.0/80S will give you 72 Kw output if the boiler can exchange that blast of heat and the largest (unless a special order) external Grant Vortex is not designed to handle more than 46 Kw.

Telfords have a blank cheque left with one of their main suppliers in Ireland to replace any of their cylinders that are leaking or with the insulation coming off them.
They are not saints and certainly not the best cylinder manufacturers in the UK.
Maybe you are right however I expect that Colin will see a change in his life, I for one hope it's for the better.
Maybe he can look back at all the posts and help he gave to so many and realise the value placed on his time and efforts amounted to zero in the eyes of the management who have...
Hi Dan,
Maybe you don't understand there are many of us who never would have had the pleasure of Colin's knowledge and wit if we were not online.
Feelings are running high, if anything it displays the respect so many have for Colin and the poor handling of a situation by management.

Don't beat yourself up over it, either he lied about the bricky's price which it wouldn't surprise me if he shaved up to 10% off.
While the bricky may not have the experience he does have access to subbies so a £2,000 mark up would sound right.
As a matter of interest what figure did you...
It's OK to keep posting even if you don't get the job, lost one myself way back when I was starting out, not so sure it was my fault thought I think the customer wanted something called value for money :)
However if you do get the job it's your round and I think there will be a lot of double...
At last you don't need to need the serious frown lines across the forehead, any problem over not enough fittings, job under priced, customer from hell are no longer yours :rockon2:
Have fun.
Actually you could have a very nice pellet system installed at a reasonable price, the make / model / output would be depending on the heat loss of the house.
I have installed 12Kw pellet stove with boiler in a house 3,000 sq feet and it works as expected, I have also installed a 30Kw boiler in...
Actually a lot to be learned from that post if you read it again.
As your boss I take it you have served some of your time with him, so he could get top prices is that not a skill in itself?
Plus you are already working against yourself assuming the customer would not pay a good price (from...
If that were to happen, it would make it obvious to investigators that the last person at the scene was at the very least incompetent and most likely DIY / friend helping friend etc.
Sad that it takes the loss of two lives to prove a point.
Also I would expect the existing client / customer has already displayed their trust in him and are less likely to be shopping for the cheapest they can get regardless of the quality of the service.
Sadly there are many consumers who appear to buy on the basis of "Never mind the quality, feel...
We have to be very practical when proposing changes because what can be seen as one slightly impractical or unreasonable suggestion can have all the good ideas thrown out.
Tamz has posted the pay rates in his area, Mrs Tara Plumbing has posted some very points about after hours work people do...
I know the feeling, suddenly we become the enemy nothing about saving themselves from being subjected to excess of C0 or the house being blown up.
Of course that may never happen if you don't test for leaks, just give the boiler a quick wipe and call it serviced, appears very few understand...
Maybe if HSE and all other parties to Gas regs looked at some of the photos and after effects of a domestic gas explosion they would realise that there is a very good reason why D.I.Y. clearly should be Banned and any possible confusion about what a man or woman can do in the privacy of their...
