Washing machine fitted from scratch.

Help!
I'm in the Leeds area and need a washing machine fitted from scratch (we're using the current washing machine space for the dishwasher), it's cold fill only and will be next to the sink. I've got one quote of £50 just the labour sowould have to + VAT and parts, and another of £85 inc parts, labour and VAT. Are these fair?
I've also got no idea how to pick a company, these are just 2 that I picked from the yellow pages. Anyone got any reccomendations for Leeds plumbers?
Thank You

    £80 tops for materails and labour, dont pick anyone out of the Yellow pages, get one of the free weeky newspapers and pick one from there.
    A thankyou is payment enough .

    I agree with Plumb1, check the papers. Also, have you thought of asking your neigbours? Nine out of ten times they'll be able to recommend a decent plumber who'll do it for you at a reasonable price.

    When I had mine plumbed in it cost £80 but he did it wrong. The plumbed the pipe leading to the hot water in instead of the cold so I had to wait a week before he could come back and put it right :rolleyes:
