I was charged £974.74 for a plumber for 1hr 41minutes on Easter Saturday to attend a tap leak and change a 15mm connection of hot feed pipe to the chrome pillar tap of basin.
£165+vat per half hour
£110+VAT emergency call out
£42.19 +VAT for parts and sundries
On the advice of citizens advice I have reported them to trading standards as I feel £900 is extortionate for 1hr41mins.
I would like to know if this is standard charges for plumbing emergencies or have I been ripped off?
Please could anybody let me know as I am having to pay the bill (under dispute) and then try to claim it back. For me to do this, I need to have an idea of how much regular plumbers would charge for this job on an Easter afternoon.
Many many thanks for any help
