Economies of scale...
he's sound, used him for years.

He doesn't have a shop and front-facing staff to pay 
Probably works off 1-5% per boiler, if he shifts alot then probably makes a few quid!

Would imagine its make a little on a lot of sales,
But done one full system bought from him about 5 years ago , rad valves where cheap sh#te ,rads had a terrible finish on them and the brackets on back of rad where just a rail that went entire width of rad.
But for a cheap job it serves its purpose

Its getting to the stage where all jobs need to be cheap jobs.
The unfortunate fact is that the merchants with 6000 sq ft of warehouse, two counter hands, a driver, a warehouseman, a secretary and a manager all cost about £120,000 per annum before they have sold a single fitting!
Mr Heating probably lives on rupees, is based in a cheap asian area and works 12 hours a day. Thats why "he" is so cheap.
Actually thats not the case! But he is very wealthy as he has been in the business for many years and is not frightened of investing money in large purchases. Although he has got his fingers burnt from this before when he bought a lot of boilers and then the manufacturers changed the model and put them into a big shed ( cheaper ) !
Thats a problem I have. I would dearly love to buy the same things from my local merchant at similar prices but they have this fixed idea that they must sell them at £135 more than Mr Heating.
To make it clear, I have nothing to do with that supplier and I have never bought anything from them before . Perhaps I should go over and have a look soon as its only a couple of miles away!
