What about the radiators in this eg?
As a customer I may have a preference on style. You tell me what size and heat output I need, but it's likely I'd like to choose between them. Do you add x% on to all of the rads?

Our kitchen just done, we had 2 rads. One standard type 21 and a feature rad.
Quote agreed with the builder was supply 1 fit 2. There was a markup on Screwfix prices for the supply rad but then a Screwfix stelrad/kudox is different from a well made Myson premier. No idea what was supplied.

This is different from some copper pipe or cable though isn't it? As you say there are style implications etc but you'll often find they can order through their wholesaler and get better prices that you can RRP, even if they add on a "picking them up" charge you still pay less than you would have otherwise done.

Depends what your budget is, panels are all much of a muchness although I do like the softline stelrads but they aint cheap. The days of cheap stuff even non branded are gone.
If it was fancy radiators the person wanted Id just tell them what they needed for the room and let them order them and take the hassle out it but only if I knew I was doing the job.
I done a job and the customer wanted these old style but new cast rads. The radiators all leaked at the joints as he supplied them it wasn't my problem(manufacturer replaced them all) and he had to pay me again to change them. That's one of the reasons I dont like supplying fancy stuff, if that happens and then your back spending a day fixing something that isn't your mess.

I mean if you asking about a job that Id do you want heating full system. I come in size it up, order the materials and you pay X I dont give a break down to how I got that figure. The price is the price. I'm not getting paid for the time I had to come to site visit and the sit at home work it out and then order all the right stuff so that's built into the price.
Say I need something that I have missed in the price, I wouldnt go to the customer "oh i forgot this its gonna be extra" Id swallow that cost. Sometimes you win on a job and something you lose.
