Have you tried moneysupermarket.com?

 

[jedi]

nope? what you getting at? do you fit boilers?

 

[Dan Robinson]

Lots, and unless you come here with a crazy low, or crazy high estimate we have no way of telling what something will cost.

Asking for a labour only figure just screams "tight ass on google" anyway.

Labour costs depend on which part of the country you're in, and how much work is involved. The latter can only be established by a site survey

Manchester is a place with many short of work, some working on the side and others claiming benefits who will do anything for £100 a day.

If you moved to London then I would typically charge about £1040 for what is likely to be needed.

That includes up-grading up to 3 m of gas supply pipe.

Are you sure T? Not £1041.58

So about 1k tops down south in pansy land, and a tad less for us northerners.. I was thinking around the 700 pound mark..

The job doesn't look that hard.. Unless your a southerner.. Then you will be paying extra for all the bull and whining cos he's got his hands dirty. or broke a nail..

I'd rather buy my own bits so the installer don't put extra on.. Plus I can get the spec I want and not cheap ass boilers that they supply.. And put mark up on parts etc..

god forbid a buisness makes a profit...fooking rip off merchants......you might have trouble finding someone to fit gear you supply as they most likely have more profitable jobs to get on with, plus your on your own if anything goes wrong as they wouldn't have supplied it, if there is a fault out of the box (which happens) or something missing you will have to pay more labour for the fooking about.

If someone rings me and asks how much to fit a boiler they supply i tell them straight up i'm not interested in doing the job.

good luck.

Try the above site for a rough estimate. rough estimate = rough job thou.

Profit on the parts? Definitely rip of merchants.. I pay the for there experience and labour.. Any one making profits on parts I stay away from.. Im afraid...

What's the difference from me buying the parts from the supplier and the gas installer buying them? Comes with the same guarantees etc

 

[Agile]

Because many look up prices on the internet etc. I always quote a transparent price for installing boilers.

I am happy to fit customer supplied boilers as long as they are in their original box and not previously used.

But since legally the supplier is responsible for warranties etc. if the customer does decide to supply them then I do not get involved with any warranty claims as I would if I had supplied it.

Of course if the parts were 2nd hand or used/opened box's I don't blame you for staying well clear.. I'd do the same... But for example, what's wrong with me choosing what parts I want, eg. Boiler, thermostat, timer etc and then if it makes you feel better you order them. I don't know where you guys get your stuff from, but plumb nation has some competitive prices..among others?
