Had a qoute from severn trent for a drain connection..do you want a laugh

[zippitippitoes]

guess how much..from our boundary to the drain in the road is about a metre

I dread to think...

£650 plus VAT.

anybody gets it right I'll send them a zippi clockwork bather for the bath

Knowing Severn Trent probably about 2 grand.

£900

That means my guess is out lol!

just abit vvv

£1200

4500?

£5,500

no one near yet

£20,000?

Is it sewarage or water?

Do they have to dig up any public land?

Come on, give clues woman!

it's connecting to the sewer..travel about 1 metre but has to drop down

Over 10k but less than 15k ?
Are you going ahead with it ?!

Well going by standard charges, visit fees, infrastructure, planning etc etc should still come in at no more the £2.5K.

Anything more suspect a rip off.

I shall take you out of your suspenders in a minute

Yes please do.

£10,055 VAT zero rated!!!!

Have they given you a breakdown of how they get to that figure?

thats ridiculous

I would ask for a detailed breakdown of costs too.

nope

Have you checked their website, see if there are any cost estimations on there?

Really sounds way off the mark.

we're trying to find someone else to do it..I thought only severn trent were allowed to do it but I now know that isn't true

It even says with the quote that if it costs them more then we will have to pay more and to order the service we have to pay now and wait 12 weeks until it's scheduled or something
