Bes, hwos for all my mail order specialist stuff
I use williams for pretty much all my gear.
hps for my boilers but ray ray under stands that one!

However ive been doing hardly any plumbing recently 🙁
 
Have been loking after my fragile dad, his business along with sorting a shed load of other stuff.

things are getting back on track now i hope 🙂
 
It's all about time or lack of.

You can complain about screwfix but then where do most people head if there is no decent merchant open near by. If you have time to plan your materials then fine, they will never match a proper plumbing merchants giving a good trade discount.

you could always go to homebase and pay 4 quid an elbow.
 
lol i m learning fast i tell ya, plumbers i have worked for in the past i havnt given 2 hoots on the equipment fixings/fittings and tools he used but now its my own i know for sure they will be gettin looked after may sound stupid but even my soldering will be precise, not wasting no copper it costs a fortune lol
 
Don't feel bad - you got what you needed when you did instead of having to wait on delivers which could take a minimum of three days. Them you could have been sent the wrong tools and supplies (this has happened to me). If you've got time to get your gear and can plan ahead go with some of the more reputable suppliers online (don't send your credit card details to that super cheap looking supplier in Russia :reddevil🙂 otherwise Screwfix do offer some great customer service and they're there when you need them.

Moneywise you'll make it back and more through your trade so take this as a lesson and plan your inventory needs out for future (as best you can - I often find myself making a trip to a B&Q when I could have saved online.) Oh well.
 
screwfix for me have always been quite good. A little over priced but you get it back at end of month in vouchers (had £300 so far) to keep you coming back. Only buy radiators and odd boiler if its on deal though. Good luck TH!
 
You bought a boiler from poofix? Are your only merchants oil only? Honestly buying but from ray . Sure he's cheaper even wiv postage and biccies! Oh but he won't sell u a heatline or biasi??
 
Ray i wanna order all my copper stock, wanna give me a great deal???? (better than ya website) lol
 
Yes they are stitch up artists. Treat the staff like rubbish and rob you blind with cheap and nasty stuff at mind blowing prices. shop around is my advice and avoid Screwfix whenever possible
.
 
Look at it this way!
You got 2k yesterday!
Job starts tomorrow!
Now how are you expected to start with work when you got the loan yesterday.?
I'd just be very careful qnd look after them ones, do a good job!, for now and hope a few more jobs come in and please yourself on the net in future.
You must be well spoilt!!
2k Christmas bonus!
Hopefully you'll be finding filling up with huge turkey!!!
Merry Christmas
