Tony do bare in mind that I would consider our house to be fairly sizeable compared to most typical houses and perticularly newer builds. We have 14 rads and pritty generous sized rooms so from an amatures view Im sure this would add abit of cost for extra pipe. But honestly, I think you will all be shocked at the state some of this has been left. Watch out for my post tomorrow afternoon!
And also... it depends how this conversation on tuesday goes... you may well still have the opportunity to do a proper job! lol. Its just the problem is the guy can clearly talk the talk and as our original boiler which was against numerous building and corgi regs which was bodged and left us shafted, this guy made a real impression and quickly built rappour and did not at all give us the impression that he was such a poor worksman. Its a shame it turned out that he just couldnt walk the walk, and equally and more disapointingly is its people like this that give the trade on the hole a bad name, and Im starting to understand why some people may opt to pay British Gas £10k+ (We were quoted £12.5K for our house) to get their install done, even if local traders would do it at a fraction of the cost!
Simply summing it up, a cheap job cutting as many corners as possible to finish as soon as possible and get your money
Tell me about it mate, I musta had "MUG" written all over my forehead
Depending on the layout of the house I would usually estimate on the basis of about £100 per rad for the pipework.
Typically,
Copper pipe £120
6 man days £1200
Travel London £90
TOTAL £1410
Communication £90
Total £1500
