Title: Curious as to price plumber charged.
Post by juco on Jun 19^th, 2023, 11:48pm

Problem has been sorted just curious as to the price charged.
Micro bore to radiator `weeping` to the point boiler pressure would drop too low around 7-10 days.
Plumber drained system, repaired pipe, (it had been tightened a couple of times over 2 years for same issue) filled system + inhibitor, checked system for leakage. Total time 2-3 hours approx.
Charged £40

Plumbing is not something I like to DIY.

Fair price (Scotland) ?

That seems incredibly cheap. I’ve just been quoted £262 to service my oil boiler which is a lot less work. Not going to pay that though but £40 is a bargain. Wish he lived near me.

Far too cheap! You be looking at £105-145 around here for 2-3 hrs.
