Should I pay an extra charge to fix airlock?

Hi I recently paid for my boiler to be relocated as part of a new kitchen installation.

There was an airlock which from memory took the plumbers roughly an hour to fix.

Should I pay extra for this? Or should I expect for it to be a common thing that a plumber would account for in a fixed price?

I wasn't notified about the extra cost at the time. It came up when he sent the bill weeks later.

No it should be in the price

No I would charge a fee for an airlock

Yes

It's something that the plumber should have accounted for within their qoute

I would charge an extra £95

Its down to a plumber

This does not require an additional amount because the agreed amount includes these secondary matters, which are common to occur during work

No it should all be in with the price so the price quoted would be the price the Customer pays and the job should be left 100% finished

It’s all to do with how long after the installation it happened but if everything was working properly when they left and nothing was adapted from when plumber left after boiler installation I’d say plumber should realistically do for free but it’s hard to comment without every bit of information but small remedial work is part of a warranty
