Grippa hot system
« on: October 11, 2018, 06:41:48 pm »
Does anyone know if they drop a van off to you yet so you can carry on working while they are fitting you a hot setup,I know you normally have to take the van to them and they drop it back but I want to be able to carry on working while it’s being done.
Thanks

If they supplied a van with a cold system in it and dropped it to me I’d buy a new 1 tomorrow if they took mine and delivered it back to me,Oliver if your reading lol.

Maybe worth emailing them, just a thought.

they only supplied me with a courtesy van because of the issue with the fuel pick up pipe which should have been noticed BEFORE i drove 4 hours home from their fitting centre! ::)roll ;D

I have asked this myself
 They will not loan a van
They will only rent you a van, but it's around £70 plus vat a day (I may be wrong)
  Personally I think they are missing a trick, if they had a loan van, free of charge I'm sure more would order hot water systems, that as we know take at least two /three days to install.
Logistically, they drive down in the loan van, drop to you and drive yours away, surely it would benefit them as they either have to bring 2 blokes or leave their van parked up at your premises for the three days they are away.
 
Personally depending on finances and work due, I would probably suck it and take the van rental.

Just my thoughts

Mr B
If in doubt.....Leave it out !!

Your right they are missing a trick,like I say I don’t want the hassle of the drive up. If I have to pay for a van for a couple of days I’d pay it but as you say by leaving you a van to carry on working would take all the grief away from it all.

If you can't afford to take a couple of days off and enjoy a break away while the work is being done then you probably couldn't afford the system anyway  ;D

M8 if I took a few days off I’d be losing quiet a bit of money,I know it’s only a couple of days but it’s a waste just for the sake of them providing a vehicle.

So you never take holidays or sick days or even have a day off because you feel like it?

where would you be driving from anyway nigel?you cant expect grippa to drive 4 hours to drop a spare van off for me then drive mine down there to get it fitted...its ridiculous....(even though thats exactly what they did to fix the fuel problem but it was their fault).....

grippa are pretty much fully booked with system installs so why would they create hassle for themselves by offering this service?it wouldnt make commercial sense....

Firstly I’d talk to them direct and see if you can get a van on loan worked into the price - simples

Secondly I don’t think they are missing a trick at all - there’s a big cost suppling a van and even more driving all over the country without charging for it

Thirdly you guys with hot are supposed to be cleaning so fast and saving so much money you’ll have caught up the backlog of work by the end of the following week

I’d pay Daz they pick it up drop it back even if they charged it would suit me better,if it’s wet there’s always something I’ve got to do I’ve got other cleaning contracts we can be getting on with on a weekly basis.

Hot water is coming into its own over the next 6 months,if you had a hot system for the frost stat feature alone you’d be made up with it.

I thought you already had a hot home made system ? Shorley you can go 3 days without working ?.. that’s the whole point of running your own buisness being able to do what you want , Oliver picked up my van took it to Cambridge fitted the boiler and did a load of other work for me on it and brought it back to me I wasn’t in a rush as it was an additional vehicle but cornwall to Cambridge is about 340 miles each way ,due to the amount of work they were doing he didn’t charge me for collection and delivery , I would thoroughly recomend them very good quality equipment and neatly fitted , not the cheapest but you get what you pay for . Pure freedom couldn’t evan bother to return my phone calls about getting a quote from them for a boiler figment after phoning 3 times each time I was promised a return call the same day still waiting now !,, Oliver was excellent I wanted a stainless steel water inlet and outlets under the van made as a bespoke thing I explained to him what I wanted , what I got was exactly what I hoped for there engineering is second to none all made and very professionaly fitted
