Quote for capping off my water feed from two tanks in loft

Khakisnowman

Hi, been quoted by a plumber who lives in the local area for capping off water from the two tanks in my loft. Having just recently moved in and been told that now it has a combi boiler these tanks are no longer needed upstairs. The ball !!!! if not upright lets water still in the tank and it needs capping off (i think?) . Just making sure £50 seems ok as it sounds quite simply for
Just capping off a water pipe?

A call out fee, minimum rate for the time it takes to do the job - £50 sounds quite cheap.

Yes, it is a simple job, but if it involves ancient imperial pipes & fittings, it requires a modicum of expertise. The tanks should have been drained and the pipes capped when the combi boiler was installed - Sloppy work on the part of the installers in my opinion.

Christ , your lucky a plumber wants to bother for £50 , pay the man

You're not paying to cap off a water pipe. You are paying for knowing how to cap off a water pipe.

How can you be absolutely sure these tanks are not needed and what their function is? Plumbing and heating can have many forms,designs and quirks.
