25 grand for an oil heating system! No wonder SimonG is so rich!

The guy sounds like a toe rag for sure but I don't see British Gas in the dock for overcharging

As much as the guy is obviously an bum, who's to say what mark up you can put on materials? Maybe it's the way the article is written, but to my knowledge you can charge what you want. Admittedly the 1000% percent mark up for the flues a bit excessive but wonga loans aren't much less!

think he was targeting vulnerable old folk from what I have read, plus he knew knaff all about working on oil despite claiming to be Oftec registered.

What a nasty douchbag, deserves it

If a fire started...... I wonder if he would charge for that too.

First thought is that i am undercharging!!!

I know a couple fireman who work as plumbs 1 went for years not paying tax on his plumbing work. Decided to retire from fire service still doing plenty cash in hand then hey presto taxman called .

Funny enough he's doing 5 days a week now lol
