[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 287664, member: 18490"] Update on this, I spent ages calculating/estimating how long the work would take, detailing my proposals for remedial works etc, and factoring in the rush element to give an estimate of cost. :Neil Only to be replied with saying they'd already had a quote of nearly half the amount. Grrr! headbang If they'd given me that ball park figure I would've realised a lot faster to walk away from the job :run Maybe it's the guy that did the PIR before, so i suspect he'll use cheaper parts, not do any testing etc. I've suggested as much and also that testing and doing the job properly takes a lot of time. I cheekily mentioned that others would charge double! (what are the MEB Installers called these days?!! E-on? ) Annoying thing is spending time and energy on it all when there's sooo much other work to do! Lesson learnt, maybe they'll come back to me. adios. [/QUOTE]
