I've had a quote of £85 to fit the thermostat... seems a little pricey for what should be 30 minutes work.

Although for previous customers or when a boiler service is being done I often charge just £65.

Unless he lives in the same street, it will probably take at least 25 min to drive to you, find your house and somewhere to park.
Another 1-3 min for you to answer the door.
Another 2-8 min for you to choose where you want it fitted.
Then I would say about 45 minutes to instal and test it.
Then 5 min while you find your checkbook and write out a cheque.
Then 10 min to pay the cheque into the bank ( if there are not long queues )
So I see £85 as quite reasonable.

I hope you're not still servicing boilers after writing this
"I allow about 75 minutes for servicing these and add £12 if it needs a new thermocouple. I only replace them if the output voltage is low."
You need to go back on that course [/b]
