Is this plumbing charge correct?

Or see if there is a Men's Shed in your area - You may be able to hook up with someone that can help fitting a toilet & sink. Neither job is particularly challenging or technical.Last resort, find a local handyman, preferably via personal recommendation.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

There's no money in sparking. People happily pay a few grand for a plumber to swap a boiler, and yet want thousands of quid worth of electrical work done for £150.
