Nice little job lined up for next week, 4 days doing remedials from an EICR I did xmas week, my quote was approx £1000, client says " I'm just waiting for the plumbers quote and if its not to much I will complete the purchase".........Plumbers quote = £9500...Job Blown... :censored:

In the words of the seller to me today ....."F*£*kin Plumber has cost me my sale, Ive already got F*£*kin Carpets in the new place, was he going to turn it into a F*£*kin Hotel!!!"

The buyer was a young Asian lady who is moving the entire family in.....

The whole family?? Many we talking about?




About 14, but the house was 6 bed anyway, with 3 ensuits, one main bathroom, and a downstairs w/c, Three 7.5kw showers in place already, cant see where £9.5k comes into it unless there is a huge boiler going in and all showers on that?

Hell of quote for plumbing, but that said, I dont know what he proposed to do, house was rewired and re plumbed in 1996!

Remember this CCU??...this was in there

i know i'm dim-witted on days ending in "y" but im struggling to understand this convoluted story.
what was the plumbers quote of £9k for ? i cant think why any plumbing work in a poxy domestic would run to nearly 10 large.
why did it effect the job you quoted for ?
and why was the house sale / purchase affected ?

i'm already losing the will to live...........

plumbers £9.5k quote was for plumbing work in the house, house is 6bed, but asian lady moving 14 in, im guessing lots of work, I wouldnt know.

Didnt effect my job directly, my job fell through because the sale fell in, the plumbers quote was way to high for the asian family to complete the purchase of house

Hope that cleared it up Biff


FYI BIFF, recently rewired a 9 bed house, British Gas installed new boiler & RADS all round in the same place, Their quote was "£15.5K

She was very very keen m8, from what I could tell, she had £5k set aside for remedial, she needed 10k but homeowner would not drop another 5K as he already had dropped 40k, I work for this lady on and off, that's why she doesn't get any spark quotes , can't speak for her plumber though m8
