combi to combi £800 fitted

[GQuigley67]

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

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)

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!!
