[johnnyplumb]

this advert is in our local paper

any boiler service for £29.99 + vat
times are hard, as we all know, but he must be desperate.

it's people like this, that are driving prices down imo

 

[GQuigley67]

for a limited time only....better than going to groupon i guess

 

[nysk2008]

jeez thats cheap. but then again in my opinion we can all do cheap installs but it will look like cr**

I saw one the other day 730 + vat for a regular - combi swap. Absolute madness

 

[SimonG]

Start booking them in at 45 + vat and then sub it to him in to do for 30 + vat. 15 + vat for a bit of organisation

 

[jtsplumbing]

He can come and do mine for that price, just another get your foot in the door con, then find lots of things wrong with boiler !

How does £30 plus vat work out, time driving, diesel, labour, they going to actually strip and service a boiler for that?

no theyll turn up and stick a fga in it or do bp and gas rate

i know that advert costs £150, so he's not gonna make any money from £30 services, not directly anyway.
if he picks up a few boiler changes though, maybe by I.D ing a few boilers while servicing, then some money can be made.

they must cut corners.

I know one place where Engineer does 4 flats: 4 landlord certs with cookers and boilers plus 4 boiler services (8 years old ones) and he does it all in less than 3 hours.
