Quote for Expansion Vessel Replacement

giddypenguin

Hi All,


I thought I had found a trusted plumber, but he's given me a quote (and asked for cash :eek:) which has got my spider senses tingling.


I need a replacement expansion vessel on my cylinder (the tank is currently leaking, he was unable to pump it up last time, and the vessel is sitting at a funny angle) when he was here a week or so ago he said it would be £50ish for a new vessel. He's just told me that it'll be £180 to do the work, and £80 for a boiler/tank service.


Is this fair?

We have a Classic Ideal standard boiler. Recently, the expansion vessel broke down. Got a local plumber out to cost the work. Told to replace the expansion vessel would be around £600. Looking through other wuotes listed on the internet, this quote seems expensive. Is this correct?

An ideal classic doesn't have an expansion vessel unless one has been retro fitted ?
