I bet your order book is full with your customer service ethos By the way this is a web forum. No-one on here is a customer. We are all almost anonymous, no transactions, advertising, pitching for business etc.. Or to help you understand, try watching Father Ted explaining to Father...

You should have disclosed that information first because it changes things. Unless carrying his own registration, or doing it for the firm, the work is illegal, uninsured and you are a willing accessory. I wouldn't ask for any more help, seems like you deserve each other.

Just as well most of mine are tank fed with the thing unplugged.

Don't tell me the sensors easily go faulty Dan.

It's indicating system pressure eg 0.3 bar. Not enough hence fault. Top up pressure to 1.0 bar to cure.

Fit it yourself then. Next time try a price comparison site. This one's meant for plumbing & heating.

My point is small business needs a level of income to be viable. No one looks at what a shop or market stall cashes up at closing time as the proprieter's daily wage.

All things being considered? I suggest no things being considered. Are you supplying him with a vehicle, equipment, training and all other expenses as well as a regular supply of employment? because if not it's not a grand for labour is it? If I bake and sell bread and make enough for what...

Yes, have a go at that.

Atag, Intergas, Woodburner, link-up equipment, buffer tanks + know how & skills to successfully install. All this when your original plan was a cheap tin can off ebay and finding a desperate low-life to fit it, then DIY rads at a later date. I wouldn't waste anyone's time, they'll only make your...

No, I think the OP is better off with cover. For all the moaning the public do about the profits/tax avoidance of big corporations they always seem smugly satisfied giving them money for nothing every month. Enter an independent who dares to make a crust and they'll demand his balls for...

Can't argue with that.

I don't mean insult as in offended, I mean insult as in taking the p***. Advising you on your heating equipment is what people on here specialise in. Pricing is down to what the individual has to charge against what the local market will stand. Because a customer accepts a price doesn't make...

Find someone to quote it for you. In my opinion, asking anyone to waste their time pricing you on a forum is an insult. They give free advice as this can be quoted off the top of their head. You want someone to sit there calculating. They aren't going to be doing the job.

Expensive boilers have expensive parts too. There is no pattern and any cheap parts today is no guarantee they won't rise dramatically over the boiler's lifetime.

In the context of your post, hard water means nothing. The only water both boilers contact is what goes through your heating system. Hard water only affects the water you consume at the taps and outlets.

Then your issue is that the man is incompetent and therefore a rip off at any price. However even an expert will charge higher prices than you'll find on the web.

I'm sure if whatever you cost to employ was made public, someone will put pressure to kick you out of a job.

Leaks will be down to installation and not knowing which parts of the cheap fittings pack to use or bin. In a lifetime in the trade, I have only once encountered a new WC with a casting leak. If only customers were half as diligent researching their workman as their brand.
