Replacing Twin Entry Radiator valves

Apologies to DeltaT2.

Working from memory (one of which I used to have) I got it completely @rse over t1t.
We sold around twice as many 8mm as we did 10mm.

Over a 10 year period we sold roughly 5 thousand 10mm as opposed to over 12 thousand 8mm.

Ach don't apologise Charnwood, even I got it wrong once.
Christ, I wish I had a quid for every maxitwin I fitted. Mind you we made good money on labour only gas board installs, that 8mm Table Y was dead easy to work with, we were young & daft. So most of the money went on birds, drink & uppers............. :LOL: :LOL:

I think it is entirely fair. First of all, the quotes were not just for changing some "pesky" radiator valves, that was just a small part of the work. I also wanted a new radiator plumbing in to my workshop, a new towel radiator plumbing into a new en suite, I wanted five new radiators fitting, the boiler needs servicing too, I have a dishwasher and washing machine supply and drain that needs plumbing in, and I also wanted a zone valve fitting, along with two wireless thermostats. Not only did I want all that work doing, I also wanted the tradesman to supply all the items needed, (five rads, 13 TRVs, 2 thermostats, zone valve and all fittings). And you think it is okay just to get one, perhaps two quotes for all that?

You said:

I've moved into a house that has radiators with twin entry valves connected to 10mm diameter copper piping. I want to replace these valves with TRV's, so I called a few plumbers in to give me some quotes.


Why are we expected to imagine that you actually meant something completely different? I stand by my earlier post.
 
OP From some of the replies on here you will realise that plumbers /gas guys buy everything for there own house from the first guy that gives them a price and never shop around (as if).
Its not a new thing in this industry giving quotes that you dont get it all part of the job people ,live with it. It is not your god given right that a cust must accept your price.
 
Delta ..Would that be fish uppers or fried mars bar uppers :mrgreen:

:LOL: :LOL:
Don't do drugs kids, it's not cool, hip or street...............Only losers & morons do drugs. Dope kills your brain cells & you stink like a tramp!!!

Never done drugs, boozed like a good un in my youth but not to excess, never smoked, yet my brain cells are depleting at a rate of knots.
Where did I go wrong?

Not sure about the tramp thing. That's yet to come, probably.
