I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Just swapped out a classic for baxi 616 with rear flue. Told the customer I'd replace toilet internals if boiler went well and I ran out of things to pretend to struggle with.
Regretted it on my way to van for the angle grinder!

That's a coincidence I've got this one to do condemned it yesterday hardest part is finding a Baxi boiler 😂 any pictures of yours bricking the flue up can take a good few hours

Labour and supplying stuff and materials (Excluding Tiles, customer supplied) £9k inc VAT. Although really should have been a bit more, was quoted at our old labour prices.

Although there was very little electrical works on this one, plus everything basically stopped in the same place.

Floor was a mess underneath so was another £250 on top of above for redoing floor too.
