Being nosey, what’s your trencher?
A mere toy.....AFT100. Ideal for water pipes, electric cables etc.

Thanx Steevo, Devon def too far mate .
Trouble I’ve found is electro fusion is smart, but if you do get a leak you need the kit to fix it, I’ve had plasson fittings in the ground 12 years running at 11 bar pressure and none of it leaks, plus if it does fail I can dig it up and fix it.
MJ Abbott are cheapest for plasson fittings
I get my pipe from a guy called peter Stirzaker
Thanks for the info mate, hadn't really thought about "fixing|" a leak and needing the equipment , at least with easy fittings I can fix it as you say so maybe that is the way forward.
I know it depends on soil /conditions but how long would it take to trench a 1000m, again variable dpending on the trencher being used but I've had 2 quotes so far 1 at £10k inc pipe , 1 at approx £5 per metre just trench, no backfill no pipe, based on this it'll be me a digger more time but no where near these sort of costs, am I being naive or are both of these quotes taking the pi$$

Have you tried Pipestock? https://www.pipestock.com/plassonMJ Abbot have an online shop, really great prices and everything you need with pictures so you can pick exactly what you need
Electro fusion is definitely nice but just not practical for day to day use

Find them cheapest for plasson and the bloody things are made 5 miles down the road from me!! but its cheaper to buy them from the mainland than any local stockists.
Does MJ abbot give a discount on there electrofusion web price? as it is 20-30% dearer than pipestocks web price.There prices are exactly the same as MJ abbot would you believe
My pipe man is 60p/metre cheaper on a roll of 50mm than both those companies

Kinda sorted , had a quote for Ditchwitch c24 1 week £520, 7 rolls of 150m plus all fittings should come out at reasonable cost all in.
I take it plasson are the best to use?, compression or pushfit?
