think its touched a nerve today , lost my main contract , theye gone with one firm who can do all gas,elec,ac but hey hoo it happens
Is there no kind of union or anything that gives us support on pricing?
am hoping they fall flat on there face.
I think loyalty went out the window as soon as the recession started and money got tight. If it were me, I would post an anonymous letter through the door stating the faults and possible problems that could arise.
This MAY worry the custard enough to call the installer back which will serve him right, causing him some grief and maybe making you feel better.
Failing that, use a freeze kit on that poor condensate, that will get em back
OK i might not of been the cheapest BUT View attachment 10525View attachment 10526
Is that condensate on the second one terminating in mid air?

I got offered £45 per boiler (second fix, site work) hang Jig & boiler, connect relevant pipe work, core hole & make good.
Quite frankly I would rather have eaten my own liver.
And 130 quid for a bbu to combi. I can make plenty more sailing around in my van all day doing a bit servicing
Damn those figure are boiling my p i s s!

Most of the new build work I've seen is absolutely shocking, wonky pipes, hardly any clips. It's all about speed, because there no recommendations or referral issues. Obviously your one of the rare ones Lee.

I try to sta away from new builds, most sites thesedays are badly run, you get constanly let down in some way..
The last site I worked on, timber frame bungalows
Six Rad CH System, Bathroom, Kitchen Sink and Hob - was getting £250 first fix, £550 second fix
you could easily do 1 1/2 first fix a day

Still a lot more than a lot of day work lads working for company's.
I never seen the price list when I started for the new build company as I agreed a fixed weekly wage for 3 months then started on price if I had started on price on day one possible would not have stuck it out and when you look at the prices on paper there shocking and I seen so many lads not even last a week you have to give it time. lads that have done site work will know how fast you can get. lads that have not just think we make it up.
its just becoming a utter joke i am losing boiler swaps because of powerflushing and upgrading the gas supply 3 boilers i have priced in last month an abit because that you dont need to upgrade the gas supply other companys say you need need to upgrade it. i am getting fed up of this guff
