Hi Folks

Snip.

B&Q employ local contractors to do the work and, if our experience with a
B&Q fireplace is anything to go by, you have a good chance of it being one
of local cowboys that turn up.

Yes Phil you are spot on as my sister- in- law would confirm having to
eventually call in a real professional.

i recently heard of a job whereby a punter bought a new fire and
surround from B & Q and were quoted £500 to fit it!!!

Yeah I noticed some of the estimated prices for installation in the
booklet.

I had no intention of using the B&Q offer of installation nor have I
any intention of buying from them either cos their prices are much
higher from places on the net.

Thank you for the reply
