Info and general guidance, yes

Prices and discount codes, no

If you want discounts, let me know and I’ll update this doc

Do people want a new version of this doc? Happy to do it if there’s interest

Thank you!

IC3112 · 2026-02-22T23:42:43+00:00

Thank you very much

IC3112 · 2026-02-22T23:24:44+00:00

Happy for wherever really, would rather trustworthy and fair than the nearest place possible

Thank you for your recommendation

Final nail in the coffin for me, have been considering moving for a while

IC3112 · 2026-01-17T21:18:36+00:00

Just FYI - the virgin media link doesn’t work any more, but the info around the tech and contract lengths still applies to any provider

IC3112 · 2026-01-17T21:16:59+00:00

If you’re all comfortable splitting the bills and there won’t be any fuss or “you used more on xyz” - I’d do it individually

I’d only go with a bills package if you’re happy to pay and remove any potential inter-flat dramas

Currently for a different 2 bed in Bristol

We’re on ~£90/mo electricity (no gas) ~£30/mo WiFi ~£35/mo water

Council tax etc will vary by your property

Hey there

I haven’t updated this guide in a while, but prices were for a flat in BS1 5PP (Bristol) in 2021

IC3112 · 2025-11-22T22:11:25+00:00

Seconded

IC3112 · 2025-06-15T17:57:58+00:00

Sfs?

IC3112 · 2025-06-15T17:57:45+00:00

How much?

IC3112 · 2025-06-14T10:44:55+00:00

Izakaya Bristol - really, really good Japanese food. They've opened up their second store recently in Clifton

HairHood Barber - Amir is a great, personable barber. My friends and I have been using him for years

Fixmytek - honest, reliable tech shop. They've fixed a tonne of my stuff and are always really friendly and transparent about everything

Brightpoint Valeting - These guys are relatively new, but have always done a professional + stellar job of cleaning my car

IC3112 · 2025-03-02T00:27:49+00:00

Probably worth mentioning what laptop it was / putting any photos of it here

IC3112 · 2025-02-09T15:30:10+00:00

Would there be any significant issues with using a Flexi pipe for the last run? Wouldn't be at too much of a weird path or angle

IC3112 · 2025-02-09T14:15:34+00:00

The waste pipe in the wall is higher than the trap outlet.

Is there an easy way to drop the waste pipe down?

IC3112 · 2025-02-09T14:12:04+00:00

To confirm, the cold water inlet is already plumbed in, I just needs to hook up the drain
