What are you paying for flue bits?

Flue extensions, elbows, 135deg bends I have noticed that I can get them cheaper at screwfix than plumb centre. They are saying it is because of the multifit 2 flues and they have changed them so I had a look at another price for worcester flues and that's the same!
 
I tend to get them with the boilers but when I have bought extensions and 135s they did strike me as expensive but stupidly didmt shop around
 
Plumb center all over the shop with prices at times. I always in there kicking off at the cost of parts . I often wonder how they operate as at times they are so expensive.
 
They have peed me off lately with prices x price 1 week, +40 the next....BUT still alot cheaper compared to some trade only places >>>for the boilers i use<<<
And i do like the fact they will try and do a deal based on spend.
I ordinarily wont deal with suppliers who think they dont need to do this.
Even the cheap heatline type ones come with a flue kit and i still get them cheaper than some trade only places with no flue.

So not much to complain about really !

The domestic market is huge with many folk paying over the odds for everyday stuff. I may be old fashioned but what I pay for the majority of stuff is below most online stuff, purely because I spend regular amounts with regulars suppliers regularly
 
if you stick with a merchant especially an independant, they will look aftr you and bend over backwards to help you out if things go wrong you will never get that off ebay or the big nationals

That's what I've had but the prices change within half an hour.

I was told £80 for an expansion vessel got in there and they charged £93 so I kicked off at them and have been double checking the prices.

Around me though they are the best prices for Baxi boilers.
 
I try and use my local indy when I can, but 40p more per meter of 15mm means I go to Grahams for my copper
