don`t get too annoyed then .......just get a Polski in and don`t buy a Peugeot either...SOLIDARNOSKAndersonC said:No, ridiculous that they want 3 blo0dy grand for something which would take them no more than a week's work. I was 'quoted' verbally by someone else "about two-six". Why such a massive variation in price? I know we're not supposed to discuss prices on here but it annoys me to death.

If an installer makes £3000 in one week, he is very unlikely to pull that every week.
Including materials, overheads, and wages for the plumber's mate...plumber wants 3 grand a week??
Ah, but thanks to the dumb property renovators we'll all be saved!No wonder this country is heading for the knackers yard.
Better to talk peanuts than b*llocks.You are talking peanuts.
This kind of attitude is very common. If an installer makes £3000 in one week, he is very unlikely to pull that every week. Who is to say what kind of problems he is going to encounter when he starts the job. A job planned for a week may take considerably longer. Would likes of Mr Anderson then be willing to pay for extra time taken to complete the job? If an installer charges £50.00 per hour does he make £400 for 8 hour day? Some think he does but they do not take into account all the variable that reduce the daily intake
