£761 to lag the tank?


If VAT was charged at the standard rate the chancellor would get
£113.40 of that.

That's clearly nonsense.

Probably not. If they are going to save the earth with a hot water
cylinder they will need to achieve the best result possible (no point
settling for any less) probably replacing a cheap builder's quality
cylinder with a high spec. high recovery cylinder, IME some of the
pipes will need to be moved and access might be difficult in a small
cylinder cupboard.

Around here a plumber would charge £230 / day. Also for this sort of
costing exercise the cost of making good / redecoration would have to
be factored in, even though a D-I-Y er might leave the redecoration
until the next routine redecoration.
