What do these inclusive estate agent deals involve? If a tenant is
installed and a light bulb needs replacing, is the agent likely to call
in a contractor at great expense?

Yes, I'm afraid so in general. We have a rented flat (i.e. we're the
landlords) and it's mostly handled by an agent. Things like the
annual gas inspection cost a *lot* more if I let the agent do it all
rather than doing it myself directly with a 'gas man'. I think it was
something like £150 via the agent versus £80 if I arranged it myself
(with the same bloke that the agency used).

I pay £50 for mine

Mine's in London so would expect it to be pricier. I just checked and
my memory was right £80 paid direct to the gas man, proper invoice and
everything though.
