ah! if only we were all as sure as you............. :wink: i never had you down as a plunger. i thought you had to be a brain surgeon or a barrister, at the very least a google expert :wink: all the time, it was the gas! i thought that stench was your breath :shock: :lol:

yes m8 i tell absolutely everyone who comes around how fookin brilliant i am. they ask how i dug the holes, mixed the concrete, laid the bricks, hand cut the roof, tiled and lead flashed my huge house. i show them my super wiring and my plastering skills... and all their mrs think will he...

nail and head springs to mind. :) i only part installed. i saw the putney gas blast 20yrs ago so i stay cold for a while and get my m8 around. thanks for that info though m8, it is as i thought.

with all due respect to you. plumbing does not float my boat. i did try to suggest that 90% of any trade is easy for most other trades, and its only the special bit where you earn your money. i did my own work because my corgis are busy. not by choice. dont think im having a go at all of...

its just so hard to deal with people like you! i included lead burning because its closest to a craft skill that plumbers do! i was trying to make the point that it is not rocket science what you do and that some of your number are embarrassing themselves trying to pretend other wise. i have...

yeah and! sick of people like you ganging up on a man for asking a question. your work is not that hard, it is not a craft skill like plastering. it is a skill like car mechanics with a lot fewer variables- fact. you ignore the relevance of the post to suit your own purpose, which is to...

interesting :) for myself, i will get one of you lads around if i need the boiler doing

softus he aint a bad lad. i hate his deconstructing pedantic style, but i reckon his heart is in the right place. locking is boring... like someone said, its only a forum. :)

corgi is a tick box exercise that enables someone to be sued...... that is all it is! it is meant to ensure standards but all it does is give the courts someone to crucify.. fact i wonder how long corgi has been around and mandatory! (i could google it but i can remember it...

ah! practical sensible business like.. ............... i think the op has had his eyes opened to the cost of things.

same as we all would do. i like to say yes or no simply because i feel manners demand it but then i am old fashioned where this sort of thing is concerned. i would happily pay a £400 price because of the hoops you corgis have to jump through. im lucky because i can but that is a weeks money...

as is your right m8. i fully accept that. i cant stand the excuses given, some are valid but most are not. you will know that better than me. btw good luck to you, i hope you continue to do well. :)

my plumber m8 has a porsche...... and a harley davidson and his wife has bmw 3 convertable. his wife doesnt like the porsche, she prefered the range rover they had before. this man has a regular apprentice but does not employ anyone else. i know three plumbers and all of them are doing very...

Dont talk such rubbish! Lots of you will fit a boiler when you didnt fit the pipework and you just charge more for the installation. Please dont tell me that this doesnt happen because we all know it does! Every trade hates to hear when someone else says they can do their jobs but I'll...

i didnt :) ... and i bought; what i was told to. i do realise that most of the answers given are correct but i think that there is a lot of justifying going on. all trades have a time of being the best paid or getting bad press. i think it is(or was) the plumbers time. i dont really know...

i had my bosch boiler connected to my old system. it cost me £300 on a saturday morning. my plumber is corgi and everything was done as it should be. (he would not travel, he doesnt have too) you are being too hard on that matey. are you lot sure that you wouldnt be moaning when the...

thats what im hoping for :) come on people, a leak in the central heating loop and hot water that takes ages to come through.. two problems on different sides of the boiler (so to speak) no one recognise this problem? btw keep the carry-on's coming, it bumps my do dah :)

bump good luck :)

no im not talking about softus :wink: i have to look at a lady's boiler. ive been told that she has to get up at night to fill up the central heating system/loop.... and, that hot water takes ages to come through on the hot water side. i know nothing about old boilers (except...

come on now! when has billy ever been fair.... :roll:
