Say you hire someone, such as an electrician or plumber, without price even being mentioned by either party. The contractor later bills you: you're taken aback by the price. Maybe the expected rate is £100 and you get charged £1000. More fool you, right? Fair enough.



But is there any practical limit in English law? £1,000,000, your house? Is there any reasonableness limit in law?

The contractor can charge what he wants, but if you are worried about it you can ask him to only preform services costing under million pound amount or whatever.
