Re: Cowboy plumbers in London: PLUMB FORCE DIRECT
I don't drive around with a van overloaded with stock. It's up to you if you want to, but it doesn't make anyone a cowboy by not having half the plumbers merchants in his truck.
I carry a plethora of copper fittings, but only in 15mm & 22mm, I also carry a large selection of waste fittings in inch and quarter/half. I also have a large selection of washers, and some simple valves, ballafix,drain off,WM.
I also carry one donut, and of course various pipe, oh and flexi hoses, and a few gas parts, plus some immersion heaters/stats, earth straps, fuses blah blah blah.
Long story short, I will come out, look at what I need and go buy it...in the clients time, not mine. I dont take the pee I just go there, buy what i need and return.
You can't expect people to carry more than I do (though I know some do)
A dodgy WC syphon, it's hardly high drama....and these guys haven't exactly charged you an astronomical amount of money. Fair enough you're annoyed but is it worth all this drama? I'm sure trading standards have better things to do.
There was a locksmith on rogue traders last week. He charged an old boy in his 70's a thousand pounds for an hours work. That's worth talking about.
