Short story;

I'm reliably informed that I need to change the pressure g
regulatin valve in my flat, and I've been told to expect a
price of £120-£180 for the valve, and £120 upward for labour.

The valve itself looks very similar to URL:
http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/343-1890, the only difference being that
there is no nob to change the pressure.

Soem have a screrw adjustment. I got one like that for a few pounds
(£10-ish? IIRC) from BES. I suggest you also get a pressure gauge (again
cheap from BES, though you'll need a way of connecting its 1/4" BSP male
thread to something more useful) and mesure your water pressure (a) where
it enters your flat (b) after the pressure reducing valve, and maybe also
at taps etc.

Hi,

BES have the bits needed, a 1/4 to 3/4 BSP bush would allow it to be
connected to a washing machine hose and tap.

cheers,
Pete.
