Hello, I have posted about this plumber before as I am still having problems with my central heating system, but his invoice for a few small jobs must be the reason why so many people want to become plumbers these days
1 emergency call out to fit a new washer on the pipe connecting the dishwasher (time of actual work 10 minutes)all in one outing
1 thermostatic valve fitted to a radiator 1 tap swapped at the kitchen sink 1 replaced stoptap and ball valve total time of this outing 90 minutes maxhe first wanted to also charge for work ot the central heating system that I insist was warranty related. With my stubborn resistance he lowered the invoice. This guy used to be the "family" plumber, hence I did not insist on quotes for all of the above thinking that I full well knew ball park figures for these jobs.
Anybody wishing to take a guess...
280 pounds all inclusive.Say the callout cost me 100 quid - money quickly made for him but never mind. The rest are small jobs imho, certainly not worth 180 pounds, even in a decent, fairly expensive part of the North. Is there a comeback for me or just a bitter pill to swallow?
