We are sorry that our costing was not within your budget on this occasion. The only saving we could offer would be about £120.00 and not fit a new timer and the two new stats.
I am delighted when I earn £900 before income tax for a days work. However, that is not the going rate for a boiler change. You will be aware that we are a VAT registered company with overheads including vehicles, marketing, public liability insurance and the cost of annual registration with the Gas Safe Register and ongoing training.
Our price, for your information, is broken down as follows.
The job allowance is for a two day install, first day to drain down, remove existing and fit new. The second day is to fill the system up, hot flush the system refill commission and test.
Boiler cost .........................£508.69
Consumables .....................£160.00 (fittings,pipe,cement,chemicals)
Timer, 2 x stats ..................£100.00
Labour & business overheads £768.00
Total cost...........................£1,536.69
VAT @20%........................£307.34
Total sum payable..............£1,844.00
You have been offered this highly competitive price only due to you being a valued customer of many years. A new unknown caller would have been sent a quote for a significantly higher figure.
When shopping around, may I recommend that you choose your boiler carefully. We only fit and recommend boilers made by manufacturers who have an excellent back up system if you need it. Companies like Worcester & Baxi that employ their own engineers if you should develop a fault when under warranty.
