prices for fitting

[billybob150811]

I know we all watch how much others charge even if it doesn't influence us I saw this on fleabay boiler fitted from £650 inc the boiler I know it says from but they also fit supplied boilers for £200 I think I will put my normal prices in and get him to fit it

 

[Alex Knight]

Ridiculous how he gets away with charging so much

 

[kirkgas]

I agree £200 per day isn't a lot, bit a lot of guys buy fittings from scrapyards or get them from guys who work for the big contractors which keeps costs down, but it doesn't leave a lot to run a business and pay tax and NI, so they can't be paying everything they are due to

Any pricing following the word "from" is meaningless.

And despite you knowing that, it has still created the same false impression in your mind as they sought to create in potential customers minds.

Ignore it, or get a friend or relative to get them round to do a real life quote.

I can supply boilers "from" £99

Plenty up this way sell them, all bagged up and brand new, they buy them from the guys on the bigger contracts at scrap weight price and sell them on, same with copper pipe

I also use the scrappy for fittings as a stop gap between subbing where I get liads if leftover stuff. They dont want it back as it makes the qs look bad.....

£99 cheapskates don't get packing crates or choccies. Delivery is extra. Packing is extra. Flue kit is extra. Everything is extra.

Its like a £5 Ryan air ticket - looks good in the advert, but you know that they are going to rape you on credit card charges, check in fees, baggage surcharges etc. They even looked at charging to use the loo in-flight recently.

£200 squid for a boiler change is more than alot of contractors pay subbys.

what do you get for this......... 1 clip per pipe, undersized gas, chemicals sold on ebay, condense run externally in 21.5mm gewin to the floor and the benchmark filled out in the van from the MI. I see this type of work every day.

these adverts stating "from" a certain price normally mean it cost alot more if its more than 2m of copper and 10 fittings.
