That's what they offering me to fit boiler

blimey, the only way I would even consider fitting a boiler for that sort of money was, if it was no more than a mile away from home, and was going exactly in the same place,and they payed for ALL the materials. If you have any traveling time, diesel, materials to pay for etc etc etc , you wont even end up with 300 quid.

Makes you sick these leeches paying peanuts and taking more than you do for the job. The problem is it doesnt matter how gooder engineer you are if your not a salesman you only have half a business.

Always been poor for work in south Yorkshire, (Thacthers dream) so local firms price work accordingly,I finished this in December still bitting and batting,Lads in the south east dont know how lucky they are,Strolled onto a site in South East LONDON last week,you could do 800 a week 1st fixing easily,but if you are digging down there I need 12 hour days,this site was 8-5, no later,the lads on site were nice lads as wellgot offered a start but the sums wouldn't add up,so back up to sheff ,and hoping some other things come off .Forgot to say that 380 is a full fit so divided between 2 so not that good
