if the property meets the exemption criteria for needing a HE boiler it is possible to fit an SE boiler in a swap over in 3-4 hrs so if you can buy a boiler for £400 odd, then yes it can, or if an HE is already in then how long would it take to sway a boiler for an exact same model? we used to do warranty work for various manufacturers and got 3.5hrs labour to change a boiler, ok you use the old flue hole and existing jig so again yes it can, obviously anything else needed gets more cash, how you do you sales pitch is up to you, this is how they do theirs, from the landline they must be in Bellshill area a few miles from me but i dont know them,, nice free advert you are giving them by leaving the phone number in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got some info on the price cutting boiler swoppers, i'll no name & shame but there's 2 guys involved, in partnership i believe, 1 in bellshill & 1 in coatbridge, drumpellier i'm told . ring any bells kirk

shop down next to me in govanhell is advertising combi swaps at £750, I priced a combi swap at £1000(sabre boiler) someone else done it for £800, lost out on a heating system by a good couple of hundred and my joiner was doing the joinery work, told me install was a shambles and condensate pipe just popping outside.

About £1100 and a steak pie supper

You can get a sime (pile of junk) down here for about £500 ., and if they are like me dont pay for materials then £300 for labour straight swap then whats the big deal???

The cost of the advert we've looking at is £150 per week then there's all the other overheads as well

 

[gaspastemania]

Well however you look a it wether gear knocked off or not nobody works for nothing and if they are happy to be earning £150 from a combi upgrade good for them . Times are tough to many plumbers etc , training centers and gas safe passing through muppetts its a case of deal with it because bubble has burst.

Bit sad really, let them get on with it. Wouldn't be me though! Its not the Scottish way ;0)

 

[johnnyplumb]

There's desperate people out there, wasting it for everyone else, we're heading back to the way it was in the 80's, maybe worse.

 

[mitchellplumber]

Well, I'll no go into it too much but the country is getting flooded!!
