Sky charging for "Free installation"

I would appreciate any help with this, Sky have billed me for installation yet I was offered it for free on the phone.
I moved house and phoned Sky to ask to cancel their services as they wanted £60 to install it it my new house, to stop me from cancelling they said they would wave the £60 and we would have it installed for free.
I have written to Sky and got a one sentence letter reply saying "you are not entitled to a £60 refund", I found the letter lazy and disrespectful.
Having phoned them today they insist I have to pay for the installation as they have nothing on their systems to say it was offered free, I suggested it was not my fault if their staff make errors. Anyway I have told them to listen to the call I made and they will find it was offered free (they said they don't record all of the calls).
So I hope they find they recording of the phonecall they stop calling me a liar. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Ask then to show evidence that you agreed to pay the £60. If they have none, you didn't contract to pay an installation fee.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.
