What's a typical price? This one was in outer London, in loft, Sunday job, solderered elbow come apart on feed to float valve in cold tank, there was a gap in the insulation at the elbow. There was an adjacant service valve.

TIA

We would charge £84 during the working week and an extra £10 most weekends if we could choose when to go. In this cold weather it has meant more weekend working to keep up so we have charged an extra £20.

But some firms are rather into money making like quoting £425 for replacing a plate heat exchanger, something we clean for £136.

Travel, Mileage and One Hour on site on a SUNDAY = £154 +Vat
Normal working hours £76+Vat

Our engineers do expect overtime for out of hours working and for a burst pipe you should be able to claim the cost from your buildings insurance!! ;)
