I also would have quoted a call out over the phone especially at that time
of day and then reaffirmed that 'before' doing anything. I find most people
would be perfectly prepared to pay £100 for that kind of repair and would
be happy to hand it over, glad that you came on such short notice.
It would not be extortion, just basic Market economics and might just
persuade them to leave the hammer alone next time


I suppose since TMH had done work for them in the past, and presumably
stuck to exactly the same published price list as then, was not
expecting difficulties.
