    I would book two men for half a day for a three bed house with 9 rads
    Again, half-a-day job if always more expensive than the same job as a part of bigger one.

    I would be interested on what you base this `knowledge` on ?


    When our boiler was replaced it took 2 man days. On that basis £600 per day seems excessive. Will that do?

    These silly boiler installation costs really need to be stopped. Plumbers won't mend boilers now. They make so much more putting new ones in. The response to any problem is new boiler with the customer being charged an extortionate amount.

    Again as you appear to be struggling, cant comment on full quote as not enough details
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Not really, still no required information to base it on

    In any event, if everybody worked as lone traders there wouldnt be any employers so its not always about the price alone
