that is a very good price. difficult to say how much it would cost from us without knowing the parts used. but the labour would be double that, atleast, and the parts a bit cheaper perhaps.
do you think he covers north east england?!?!?!

Kevin, just got the bill and it was for 70 euros – 32 euros for the labour (about an hour or so) and the rest for the replacement mechanism.
70 euros is about £55 I guess. Pretty reasonable I think – how much would you have charged?

Kevin, The problem was that the flush – a push button thing – had got stuck down, which made even the top of the toilet impossible to remove, hence the plumber for what should have been a simple job. The plumber had to drill it out and replace the mechanism. The cost I don’t know yet – I just called the plumber that I know is quick and efficient, because he has done work for us before. I’ll post how much it cost when I get the bill!
Jean, I think maybe the storms are behind us for the time being – although I like to be sure before I go cycling very far…

There was something on tonight’s 2000 news (TF1) about people who get struck by lightening. Take care. It leaves its mark!

I am in the plumbing and drainage business in England. Would you mind enlightening me as to what was the problem with your toilet and what did it cost for the emerbgency assistance you got?
Not that I can offer a better qoute of coarse, and our responce time may well have been a bit longer than his, I am just curious as to what these things cost in France.
Cheers!
