Our washing machine needs to be replaced but in order to do that, we need to disconnect the water inlet hose of the old one. The deliverers of our new washing machine were meant to do that today but could not because they reckon that the valve is broken and although in the closed position, they reckon it's still open so disconnecting the hose would make a terrible mess. I've been tasked with getting a plumber tomorrow to come in and change the replace the valve so that the old washing machine can be removed and replaced with the new one. I was hoping someone could advise me on how much we can explect to be charged for this? What would a typical same-day call-out charge be? The cost of the part(s)? And the labour cost? Is it reasonable to ask for an upfront quote before the work starts? Thanks very much.
Incidentally, is it normal for an electrical socket to be so darn close to a water outlet? I presume the kitchen electrics will need to be turned off just in case.
