Quick question concerning plumbing costs to the infinite mind of NSC!

[lizard]

Sorry, am not in the Brighton area or I'd be asking for PM's of quotes...
Basically we are looking at having 3 pairs of washbasin taps replaced.
We have seen the taps we want and plan to purchase these ahead of the job.
My question is what should it cost for a plumber to come out and fit these for us?
Many thanks in advance for any replies, feel free to commence binfest should I have misspelt anything etc...

Depending on how long the old ones have been in and how easy they are to take out, you're looking at around an hours work so £60-£80 plus flexible connecters £15

An hours work?
What about if the water doesn't turn off? Gate valves jammed , stopcock not working.
Oh I forgot to mention a game of ' empty out the airing cupboard ' to find the gate valves.

What? You can't be suggesting the previous plumber failed to fit ballofix valves just before the tap confections. Shocking.

Confections ? Sweet

What about checking for potentially lethal asbestos in the airing cupboard before looking for the valves ?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

in that case double it!

Is this post the equivalent of the used car purchaser walking round the car, kicking the wheels, shaking his head and taking a sharp intake of breath?!

Can you not just change the tap tops ( tap revivers , ie guts of the taps) will save you a lot of time and hassle.

Or are they a completely different style?

Good couple of hours you are looking at, depending if new or old basins, accessibility etc.

His sums definitely don't add up
