Using credit card to pay for services via bank transfer

l.c.elliott · 2025-02-19 13:42:42

We need a new boiler urgently. Obviously the cost is over £1000 so we need to use a credit card to pay. The plumber installing it for us only takes bank transfer. Can we pay bank transfer using our credit card without paying a fee and harming our credit score? If not, I'm not sure how else to pay for this :-(

Would the plumber agree to you buying the boiler direct by credit card from the manufacturer or a local plumber merchants ?
Then labour costs could be agreed with him separately.
When we had our new kitchen installed the tradesmen involved were quite happy for me to source the hardware myself.
