So I rushed about today finding the various bits for my renovated mill. Soil pipe and various fittings.
I ended up getting osmadrain (wavin) bits from Travis Perkins. The final bill was a shock. £500+
After some Internet searches I can find other brands at half the price. Also no end of threads on Travis being a rip off. Grrrr. I have an account and got 0 discount....
Further reading suggests Wavin are the very best, and why take the risk.
Do I take it all back to Travis and change brands...save myself hundreds of pounds???
Any views?

There’s a thing called the tinternet. On that you can compare prices for the exact same thing from different suppliers. There’s also another amazing piece of tech just out called a phone for those with no tinternet.

Question travis on the discount, I think It’s was 50% on the last invoice. There does feel a difference in quality with osma

Cheers guys. I took it all back today in a mood! Lesson learned....don't rush these things. It's just that the digger returns on Monday.....the money saved will get me it back for a week I guess
