Then either do it yourself or continue to tout around until you find someone to do it for a price that you dictate.

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

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]He does live on the same street and I'll pay cash! However I get your point that the price quoted isn't horrendous.
Is this a joke OP

why do people think paying cash means they should get a job done cheaper?
Your basically asking someone you don't know to carry out work in your property and then break the law by avoiding paying tax which if they get found out will incur a fine and or imprisonment but with zero risk to yourself

I agree with your comment about cash, I shouldn't feel that paying this method will reduce the price.
No joke - 1 Gas Safe plumber stated over the phone they wouldn't know how to do it. 2 other Gas Safe plumbers visited the premises and said I would need to call an electrician. All 3 plumbers were obtained via the Gas Safe website.
The electrician did a good job and was paid £30 + £6 VAT.
