I don't know the people who had theirs done recently, they are even older than me and I wouldn't like to intrude on them particularly during lockdown. I would not ask my neighbour to 'go halves'
she might get her son to do it and that would be a disaster. I have found to my cost getting neighbours involved with anything usually has bad consequences.

that sound a good way to do things , no need for 2 paid visits .

I could do that but don't fancy a cold prison cell with no dog.

I think there is a standard price depending where you live and the size of your house , you can Google it.I am expecting £120 - £140 for doing the lot and replacing 2 seals .
