Hi All,

£95 to install an in-line fan etc.

Anyone one doing the installs?

Cheers,
Ivan

Maybe It's Prime only?

This Prime seems to have its benefits. I got some work needs doing in my loft space.

Wasps don't swarm, and can't walk, let alone run. You plonker https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?img...LcAhVIBcAKHUHSD7gQMwiVAigAMAA&iact=mrc&uact=8

It's only a replacement service by the looks of it....Taken from Amazon site.

• Removal of existing bathroom fan
• Installation of 1 new customer-supplied fan
• Connecting to existing ducting
• Wiring fan to existing switch and testing unit
• Haul-away of old unit not included in estimate but may be available for an additional service fee

It'll take more than an hour. Especially if you have to pop off to Tesco's to get some fly killer.

It would also seem it’s an estimate as just read this.

I believe that Amazon maybe in the process of getting in on the handyman, plumber, electrician lark and like other agents of varying reputation it won't be long before they're calling around looking for tradesman to carry out work on their behalf.

We had John Lewis getting involved a month ago with a tie-up with Emma Clancy & co.

Good point, take it all back Murdoch

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

its all done by bizzby the new serve outfit that recruits electricians and other trades to do things, they charge a fee/commission for each job. they will no doubt have a hire an electrician next to a consumer unit next!!
they are just linking customers up with trades and taking a cut for not a lot of work as its all digital.

 

[Toneyz]

The thing with all this with these companies they either put a bit on for themselves or pay the electrician below what they would have done the job for.

Basically leeches, more appropriate words would not be allowed on here.
