Hi,
I have a Megaflo unvented indirect cylinder. Recently, it started to leak. I got a certified plumber to come and sort it out and he replaced some part but he also repiped the overflow to the outside of the house as it had been piped to go straight into the (plastic) soil stack (which he deemed was unsuitable). When this was done, it became obvious that the overflow is permanently leaking (so another fault).
They then told me that I needed a cold water pressure reducing valve and I was later quoted £165.75 for that (part, labour and VAT). However, having no knowledge of plumbing, I am wondering if that is a fair price, especially as the plumber who carried out the repairs did not communicate well and I understood that he just needed another part to complete the repair and that was included in the £118 I was quoted for the first repair.
So basically, does £165.75 sound reasonable for a cold water pressure reducing valve or am I being taken advantage of here?
Thanks for any info!
