He charged me £220 for labour. the boiler cost £575 for a Worcester 12ri

"A Grands worth of profit for a days work!"

Nice eh? Just had a quote for a new boiler from a local and small company.
£1650.00

pretty simple swap over apparently (according to my mate who is a plumber).
Surfed the net for retail cost of the boiler recommended. £550 inc vat.

gonna pay my mate a couple of hundred pounds for a days work. to fit it for
me and I'll still be £900 less worse off.
