Overcharged - advice needed

[JCSPLUMBING]

It was my tenant who called them out and agreed to the charges. I understand that's the contract however I am trying to see if it's classed as excessive and then if it's worth me trying to take it further?

Thanks

If the tenant agreed to this price then I'm afraid you will struggle to recoup your losses. You probably won't get an accurate charge from people you ask on here as its impossible to quote without seeing the job. I think its probably fair to say its quite steep though.

Thats it, blame your tools. Child pfffffft.

If I attended a property and found tenant is asking for repairs as opposed to landlord, I get onto my high horse and make good my escape. Without the landlord's permission, I won't even get my tools out

pay half under protest then let them contest it. if its valid and they can proove the contract from you then they will take it to small claims and even then the judge will see if its reasonable charge!

i would if i could proove you owe me £500 outstanding!
one things for sure they will not be out of pocket for 2hours work and 50 parts..and even then they would have to provide a sample charge for that day through invoices!!

Unless you authorised the tenant to contract on your behalf with the plumber, you do not have any losses. Your tenant does.

I would strongly recommend against this. Unless the tenant was specifically authorised to deal as your agent, you have no part in this contract.

To make a part payment would run the risk of a judge construing that such an action joined to you the contract.

OP - can you make it clear whether the tenant was acting on their own, or with your permission? Your best course of action depends entirely on this fact.
