They haven't got the Whitstable Brewery in the Maldives and Kent has far less chance of being swamped by a Tsunami.

Tradesman populate these forums to answer questions about plumbing & heating, which yours isn't. Asking them to waste time pouring over your quote is insulting. If you think people who work in the trade are worthless, then DIY. You can then post back for advice about the actual job we do.

Eurostar is quite modern and properly maintained will deliver at least equivalent of band C efficiencies (over 85%). No-one needs to replace a functioning oil boiler just for change's sake.

Yes, hurry up, chop chop you low life tradesman.

The only problem with a door on a bath would mean having to sit there stone cold whilst it empties before you can open the door. I'd recommend a shower, with some type of seat and a non-slip floor.

You don't just 'fit' a combi where there wasn't one before. It's not like a washing machine. PS. Search miketheboilerman website and read his column on boiler changes.

If your prices include goods and labour, then either your installer is feeling extra generous (even by Xmas standards) or prepare for disaster.

Unfortunately the Intergas PCB is the same, plus VAT. Don't understand why some of these import firms think that's a good idea.

You haven't joined for any DIY advice, which is what most trades are here to offer. As with too many OP's, you only wish to check prices against people none of us know for jobs none of us can see.

You blew your own thread out of proportion with your stupid comment. I'm not the only one who considers you ill advised.

Buy some taps, change them yourself. Don't forget to insist on seeing Victoria Plumb's cost price records, which I'm sure they'll be pleased to show you. They will of course seek your permission before adding any profit.

This is what you've put in writing. You state that unless the customer agrees to paying more than the installer's cost price then the installer's 'morals need questioning'. In other words, you consider an installer immoral if he charges any more for parts than he's paid eg. no profit allowed...

Do you question the morals of everyone you buy from? Tesco, Easyjet, Your energy supplier, BT, The Dry Cleaner, DVD shop, Wine Rack, KFC, BP, Esso, Shell, Safe Style UK, Toys R Us etc etc etc. Why the **** do you expect our trade to supply you goods for ****all mark-up? May your taps leak...

You are clearly nuts. This forum breeds them. This from someone who changes ID every visit, posts Q&A conversations with himself and invents stories about what appliances he hasn't got or hasn't installed.

And you fabricate stories, so where does that leave you?

Unless sneak thief came in over night and changed it, it was there the last time I looked. They'd have plenty to choose from. Since contributing to the forum, in your many guises (and prior to your new found fetish for Vokera SE), you've had the following installed at home. 2 Avanta...

No you haven't.

The most important home invention of all time, bar none. People who take it for granted should be made to live in the style of the pre-sanitisation age.

Yes Dan, I get tired of being told by manufacturers what they do in Europe. They want to sell here then they should make what we want.
