Apart from Tony - who'll come up with some BS 
.
.Most of the guys I know are one or two man bands. Some LTD, some sole traders. Their rates are £250/day. What's your point?
That running a one or two man band ltd company in london on £250 a day is unlikely.

I've no idea. Just telling you what I've been quoted! The price is plus vat, I should add.
So you're commenting from a position of total ignorance?
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Where have I said I'm in the trade or know what the costs of running a business in this trade are? All I've given is my experience of what I've been quoted. Jeez. I know some of you are plumbers and feel protective of your profession, but stop having a pop at people for giving their honest opinion on something. Next someone will chime in to say how anyone working for £250/day is probably shoddy or not GSR registered.
how the fook can anyone work for £250 a day
remember if you've had someone recommended and you don't like the price then say fook off then , get someone cheap and then don't come back here and moan it doesn't work properly or faulty ( in all sorts of ways
) . this is the most used appliance within your home and you moan about an extra couple hundred quid maybe , just think about it . plus your choosing the most busy time of year for an install . why don't you get British gas in for a quote then give us your view . we have no clue about your house for the install so a price is pie in the sky as far as giving a quote , but someone here could probably install it with a couple of lengths of copper and a bit of cable with a standard price how the fook can anyone work for £250 a day
And yet they do. Unless I've got nothing better to do than make it up.
plenty haveUnless I've got nothing better to do than make it up.
where have i said i don't believe you anyway who would you rather have , someone who is recommended or someone you don't know just to save a couple hundred quid ?????plenty have
That I agree with. For anyone who has had a bad experience, going with someone you trust is invaluable to avoid the stress of having a bad workman.
While you can be sympathetic, no one should work for peanuts in 2016. We're skilled Tradesmen(unless you're a course cowboy), 4-5 year apprenticeship, qualifications & loads of experience. We work on water, Gas & electrics - no other trade deals with that dangerous combination in a domestic environment. We deserve top dollar!!
An average home owner is clueless regarding business on-costs & overheads.
Olive & I have been through 9-10 house painters before we found one we're happy with. Cost is never an issue, you want someone you trust, like & will leave a good job.
If you're willing to itemise those items, go right ahead. Or are your invoices far more sensibly spilt into "bulk stuff" and "time it took to install and test the stuff". That being the case, it's little surprise if the man on the street thinks it "only labour".
