    That was very good of you Nick, they probably rang up one of the many call out agencies who subcontract work to third parties and keep a large proportion of the hourly rate for themsleves.

    I agree @£250 it comes across as expensive, however I very much doubt the electrician new they were elderly and ill when they phoned, the guy may be working long hours and his weekend is only time with his family so weighs up spending time with his family and also providing at the same time.
