please email me [email protected]
or pm me ill send you my number
 
Too busy and too far!! 🙂 🙂 Good luck, maybe post it on the I'm looking for a plumber section.
 
Out of interest why would you be supplying all the parts? If you're trusting the work to a tradesman wouldn't it make sense to trust him to supply the material he prefers and believes are correct for the job? The mark up a tradesman puts on his materials is not usually an enormous amount and when you consider the discount he gets from his merchant it may barely cost you any extra. Plus what he isn't going to make on materials he'll just add on the labour anyway.
 
Do yourself a favour and buy your bathroom suite from a proper bathroom shop.
I wouldn't consider fitting the cheap and cheerful stuff from superstores.
 
was just trying to make life easy er as i get really good prices on plumbing gear and if its all there on site ready too go.
then theres no hold ups if theres stuff not there i can go and get it as ill be on site 24/7
as its on my mums new house i need to get it done sharpish as there will be a builder on site me trying to get ready for the new kitchen plastering rendering painting fitting new windows
i was just trying to help things along thats all
 
don't ask him for a list of fittings, tees elbs etc tho' just buy bags of them and whats left can go back to shop or used elsewhere..
drives me mad when cust asks how many fittings you goin to need ?? answer is "as many as it takes" lol
 
I"ve had jobs in the past were people say they"ll supply the stuff and always bump my rate because of it cos they will never get all the fittings you need and you will always need the one fitting you havent got to finish of a run of pipework, as watertight said the mark up wont be huge and he will probably have all the stuff he wants in his van
 
was just trying to save time and money thats all.
i was going to get bags of fittings and bits what dont get used go's in my bag lol
 
Don't knock the guy, he's at least offering work for someone on this forum. Who ever prices it up can make what they want of the job and price it accordingly.
He gets experience and someone else gets paid. A win, win situation in my book regardless of who supplies the materials.
 
I agree. He's offering work on the forum...and he's a regular on here. What's the problem!?

Maidstone isn't too far from me (I'm in Kent too) but if Stan is coming to help out, I'll leave it at that. He helped a mate of mine out in London recently and they were full of praise so you're in good hands.
 
The man is offering some work and all you can do us say he is wrong grow up people
But not Danny and stan ;-)
 
Thanks, but honestly mate, I'm pretty busy right now anyway. Just don't why the poor bloke is getting so much grief when he's just trying to offer people on the forum work!!

Maidstone will still take me a good 40 minutes, so it's not exactly next door.

If no one else on here wa interested I would have tried to sort something out but I can't do anything for the next couple of weeks anyway.

Cheers though mate.
 
I have contacted him and will see when he wants it done ! I will go round and have a look and give price and will give a update on job progress here ! If I get to do the job 🙂
 
Who's having a pop at him? I just said buy a quality bathroom suite from a proper shop.
It won't cost much more and he won't be able to see through the bath in daylight!
 
cool a see through the bath can i put blue light under it and pa system in the corner raving in the tub lol love it:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray😛arty at mine in the tub

Fair enough MM.

I'm not getting into this anymore as it's all sorted now, so what's the sense in us bickering. You're right though. A decent suite should be bought from a proper shop/merchant.
