perhap's "is this a good price/advice" "whats the best alarm system" should be added to the BWF.

with all due respects, we need to think a little deeper about the image portrayed in here imo, you don't ever get a second chance at making a good first impression.

Assuming i read it correctly, the OP got quotes from local companies, seeks out kit on the internet then comes on querying prices and giving the suggestion industry prices are too high and that he could do it cheaper.

And you say we in the industry have an attitude.??

This happens regularly. Not happy with advice from someone who actually visits the home and spends time and effort give a quote, JP then comes on here and asks total strangers who have no knowledge of site and precise requirements what's the best way to save him money - wasting the time of the poor souls who did the quotes.

There is a thread on here asking which system we all consider to be best. Who knows, we all have our own favourites. On that basis, JP is never going to get a clear answer. Therefore cost is very possibly going to be the deciding factor.

you for real or are you missing the mod lounge

yes i am, and no, it probably misses me :P

we earn our living based on knowing what we do - we also earn it by knowing what things cost

which is all very true, but people have the right top ask, the Tv is full of 'house of horror' type shows and watchdog informing how people got conned, it's prudent to ask is it not, or do you advise them to wait till the horse has bolted?

hey i got news for you guys - that bespoke kitchen you just paid

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

i'd say well we all do, well i know i'd do my best to ensure i was not being duped or ropped off, what needs to be remembered is the limited experience of any o/p in a given field. without a reference point, we all look at price 1st, perhaps if quoted 3k forget it quoted
