Changing Water Pump costing much

brzone926

Hello


My place did not get water from yesterday and an engineer came today to check
He said the water pump needs to be changed;


And charged as below:
On call visit: GBP50 (Paid)
Pump: GBP190-220
Labour: GBP150
Total: GBP340-370


I think this is too expensive.
Is it normally charged this much?

I live in Greater London and used a Trustmark plumbing company. I bought a Grundfos pump myself (exact model of the previous one that lasted 20 years). The plumber charged me about £165 (inc Vat) for Labour and new isolation valves. The pump cost me about £100 from some plumbing website. I personally think I could have got a better quote £40 cheaper but didn't want to take the risk with someone who wasn't institute of plumbing qualified. All plumbers seem to charge a lot in Greater London area , maybe the costs of running a business are higher.

What do you mean 'did not get water'? If you tap water supply stopped and for some reason you have a pumped supply which you pump yourself for a potable water pump it would be about right.
