Guttering Fascias & Soffits

A question about : Guttering Fascias & Soffits

Hi,

i'm trying to track down a few other firms in Bristol to get quotes but I've had one that doesn't seem too dreadful.

1940's Semi, the above all around, with 2 downpipes house is 7m x 9m

The current guttering has asbestos, however the current boards and fascias/soffits are solid with no sign of any decay so am going for the attachment of PVC as opposed to the full replacement and are being done more for decorative purposes.

Ј1295?

discontinued July 2013

A question about : discontinued July 2013

I've received a quote for a new boiler and radiators and the boiler specified was discontinued in July 2013.

Isn't Google wonderful?

Would you allow that to be fitted?

Best answers:

  • Discontinued means the manufacturers stopped making the boiler in July 2013. That isn't the date they stopped selling it. There may still be stock held by the makers, wholesalers or plumbers merchants. Parts will still be available for a good 10 to 15 years.

Boiler and heating replacement

A question about : Boiler and heating replacement

Hello all, looking at nearly Ј6k for a new boiler and complete replacement of heating including four radiators in a two bed purpose built flat. The engineer gets very good ratings on Checkatrade.com and we'd get an eight year warranty with the boiler. Feels like a lot but then the whole theing is being replaced, including pipes.

Thanks in advance.

Replacing shower with bath quote

A question about : Replacing shower with bath quote

We are in the process of getting some quotes to replace our shower with a bath. It will have to be a 1500 bath as the area is quite small. We have had one quote for Ј1400 just for the labour and for us to supply the parts. If they were to supply the parts as well then they have quoted Ј2350. This is what they had on the invoice for work that needs doing. We are based in Bedfordshire. Does this seem high or about right?
