Mr_Smyth
So our communal heating / hot water is broken in our block of flats and management company think it could be another 6 weeks at least to try and fix it properly. To top it off the immersion isn't working either. A plumber came round today and quoted us 1.8k to fix the immersion, fix a leak and another seemingly small job which seems crazy to me but then everything else does too these days. Is this in any way reasonable or should I be looking elsewhere?
They wrote this on the quote:
To isolate incoming water supply
To carry out full drain down to hot water cylinder
To disconnect faulty immersion element
Descale cylinder service appliance
To supply and fit new immersion element alongside stat
To disconnect faulty leaking combination valve alongside expansion vessel To re pressurise system carry out visual checks
Check for correct working operation
Would appreciate any help as I'm obviously clueless.
